Only just got the new motherboard and extra 670 so the photos are without the other GTX 670 installed.

I will be getting a SSD soon.

I plan on overclocking the CPU to about 4.2 since in using a Master Cooler V6GT for aesthetics. Any tips, opinions or thoughts?

Yea seems great. Except getting the SSD like you are already doing, I don't think you have much room to upgrade. I mean obviously you can upgrade CPU's but for gaming you won't really notice a change. Your system is already about as good as you are going to get.

Sounds like a solid build. The PSU confuses me in terms of having probably twice as much power as you need, but it doesn't hurt anything to have too much power. If you have an aftermarket cooling system for that CPU overclocking it should be pretty easy.

I actually was stressing about if I had enough power in my PSU to run 2 670's and an overclocked 3570k haha

I actually overlooked the SLI. I guess I would have expected to see 2x or something eventhough SLI is obviously 2 cards. Yeah 860 is more than enough, but not nearly as excessive as I initially thought.
