• The board does 8X/8X SLI/Crossfire - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/z68xp-ud3-dz68db,review-32228.html
• The case -

• The PSU is modular and will easily power a pair of 6950 cards.
• High quality mouse+keyboard.

looks pretty good - how is that setup fps wise? (battlefield3, css etc)
any ideas on headset? surface? i want something thats gonna keep me stable with frames ingame, what about overclocking, any personal experiences on the mentioned hw?

Frame rate, you can see how a 6950 2GB card compares amongst others here, (the test system they used is slightly slower than a i5 2500K, so expect a bit more) - http://www.guru3d.com/article/vga-charts-spring-2011/

Overclocking, well 4.5Ghz is easy, I included a good heatsink to replace the stock item.

No idea on headset/surface, maybe just get a 2.1 speaker system - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-151-CL&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=1920
