New 470 sli system

[mfj1985]

With the price drop of the 470s and their good overclock potential, together with the fact that two 470s perform better than a 580 gtx and are cheaper I decided for a 470 sli system. I cant built myself, but we have a company here in Denmark which builds quality gamer computers imo. I was looking at the following, how does it look?

- INTEL i7 950, 4.8GT, SOCKET 1366
- GIGABYTE X58A (USB 3.0 AND SATA3)
- GIGABYTE 2X 1280MB OC. GEFORCE GTX470 SLI (3D, 120HZ)
- 1000GB HARDDISK WD, 7200RPM (64MB CACHE)
- 6GB DDR3 1600MHZ KINGSTON "TRIPPLECHANNEL" HYPER-X
- 22x SATA +/- DVD-RAM DUALLAYER (LG)
- 1000W Coolermaster 80+ SLI certified
- COOLERMASTER HAF922
- Windows 7 Home Premium

If u dun particularly need CUDA consider HD 6850CF as well for pretty devastating performance-per-watt-per-dollar and considerable horsepower outright as well?
HD6850 CrossFire PK GTX580/HD5970

Well the 470s dropped so much in price and are better than 6850 crossfire, if anything I Should considering 6870s I guess, BUT I cant pick 6870s from where im ordering.

But all in all, the machine looks good ya?
