I was wondering if anybody runs with similar components and how they might or will run together? My main concern is space, is the 690 a big case with good airflow? I've already got a geforce 260 GTX and I'm wanting something thats pretty future proof. These seems to be the best for the money (As I do have limited funding :) )
 
Thanks guys,

To be honest I wasn't considering SLI at all for now. I thought about getting a big power supply for the future because the latest cards seem to have high requirements... so when i do decide to upgrade to something else I wont have to worry about using it. So whats the big deal with the Intel and AMD? Everyone seems to be pushing Intel processors but I've been happy with AMD (plus they are clocked higher for cheaper). I've basically spent most of time reading reviews and the hardware I picked seems to be praised a lot.
