My main purpose is to be capable of next-gen games at max settings, w/ 60+ FPS, and as little bottlenecking/overheating as possible.

I will be doing a SLI of this card:

Moreover, I plan on making gameplay videos (heavily edited, commentary, etc), so I want to be able to efficiently render full HD recordings of said content as well.

Keep in mind I am looking for the absolute best for the Video Card setup I am wanting to run with. All the while without having gimping conflicts or it bursting into flames due to overclocking. I prefer things chilly.

I would like to add I am using this specific tower:

I am hoping I can fit two GTX 770's in this, but if I can't then I have no issue in upgrading if absolutely necessary.

Bequeath to me your wisdom, tech gurus of Tom's Hardware! <3

If you're recording gameplay at 1080p/60FPS, you also might want to invest in an SSD.

As for the mobo/CPU, what's your budget? Keep in mind that you will need an aftermarket cooler if you want to hit a high OC.

Also, the cards will fit in the case.

I never thought of the SSD for gameplay recording, good call!
Accumulatively, my budget can increase if need be, but I'm working with about 500-600 dollars. Do you know of a particularly well reviewed aftermarket cooler? I'll delve into my own research but if there's a particular one you know of off the top of your head, that'd be smooth.
Awesome to hear my cards will fit though! I was afraid I'd have to drop 100+ bucks on a new tower. xD
