What have you picked out for a Heatsink? With the 3200 + sli, you might end up having to O/C. A stock 3200 MIGHT bottleknect the sli cards, not positive though.

Well, that's not really what i meant...

I would go with the 7900 gt regardless, but you still might have some bottleknecking issues. Also, if you decide to go sli, might want to get a better psu.

Should be a nice system. I like the inverted motherboard layout of the case too, helps with the heat pocket under the graphics cards. The mother board link didn't work for me but asus is a very good choice, known to be quite stable. Like roboto said are you getting a HSF or using the stock cooler from AMD? And to get the max out of that video card you will need to oc that cpu some, which might require a better HSF than the stock one. But even at stock it should play what you want very well. I think you would be better off with the one 7900gt and have the option down the road to add another one in SLI. The 7900gt has been performing just a hair better than the 7800gtx 256mb cards.

Just made one of these posts myself last week. I have a short rundown of why I chose what. I am not saying that you should get what I listed but, it might help a bit.

With the GPU you'r better off with the 7900 then 2 6800's. Most importantly is that if you want a performance boost you could get another 7900 where with the 6800's you'd have to replace the whole kit.

I am leak testing the water cooling unit atm. No problems so far eccept that I broke the C ring tool they gave you to use on the tubes if you need to change the length. Don't know my own strength.

The ASUS board was defective, which is why my system is not together yet. I am waiting a replacement. Sent the bad board Friday, they got it yesterday and it should go out ether today or tomorrow, If it goes out this afternoon I should be getting it tomorrow and will finish putting the system together.

It only took 24 hours and 12 minutes to get my stuff, from the LA wherehouse. My RAM and DVD burner were sent from NJ and TN. They didn't arrive untill Friday.

Anyhoo good luck on the purchase.
