In your shoes I'd go with this build, You'd have to add a Hdd (Assuming you don't already have one) and possibly an optical drive http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2KkWX

I don't feel as if Sli will be the best option for a starting our build, i'd Change the graphics card in the PC I just sent you and swap it for a better graphics card rather than buying two mid range cards and go for one high range card. I'd upgrade to a GTX 660 or a Gtx 760 which will work fine with the PSU. The motherboard also has 3-way Sli support so If you wanted to add an other High end GPU in the future you could easily do so.

So technically none of these builds will even boot up COD: Ghosts since its a 6GB required RAM game. There is a RAM fix to make it run on 4GB but I thought that was for the pirated versions only.The PC I posted earlier would run COD ghosts just fine. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2KkWX
