Hey guys just after some advice for a pc i would love to get. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: within the next month.
Budget Range: 1000-1500 MAX + extra for second graphics card to SLI sometime after build. I would love to save as much money as i can though.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: only use will be gaming, will be using 3d vision for games that support it.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: msy.com.au -Link to price list- http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf
ebay.com.au
Country of Origin: australia
Parts Preferences: would like to use Intel cpu, I have chosen nvidia GTX 570, then i wish to SLI 2 570's in the future. i have found a enga GTX 570 with a display port (http://www.pcmarket.com.au/23935_eVGA-nVidia-GeForce-GTX-570-HD-1280MB-PCI-Express-V.php)
I believe this will let me use my 27" imac screen as a gaming monitor?? (if anyone has any more info on this would be great btw!). I have a sony 3dtv which i will use mostly but would be nice to be able to use the imac screen for games that don't support 3d.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 720p for 3d games. 2560x1440 non 3d
Additional Comments: New to pc builds so please go easy! If any of my parts don't match or anything please let me know, or if you know of a cheaper option to anything that wont effect performance much please also let me know!

not too sure about the mobo. I think this one is ok for SLI though?
Kingston HyperX TI XMP 6GB Kit(2Gx3) ddr3 1600

again not to sure about the ram. I think i remember reading that it is worth having 1600MHz over 1333 for SLI. but again if im not going to notices diff please let me know!

Hard drive pretty basic don't think i can make a mistake here lol.
samsung blu-ray combo
http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=5577
May change this to just a basic CD burner if cost of computer gets to high.
For the case and power supply im not too sure any help here would be amazing! From what i have read a 750watt supply should be enough for 2 GTX 570 in sli but would i be better of just falking out a bit extra and going with say a 850. cos from what I have been reading from people on here that know what there talking about getting a bad power supply is the worst thing you can do.
The case im also not too sure about, I don't want anything too big unless it is absolutely necessary, so the smaller the better other than that i would love any recommendations.
So just to summarise this PC will only be used for gaming, mostly in 3d at 1280x720 and for the games that don't support 3d A higher res of upto 2560x1440. The only thing that I have pretty much fully decided I will buy is the GTX 570's. The CPU im pretty sure on as well, however anything else please feel free to comment recommend or tell me im stupid for even thinking about it!. Also i would like to know if it matters that the second GTX 570 i will buy will not be made by enga? will that effect performance when using a SLI set up?
ok i think thats about it (for now!) thanks for reading and any advice or just comments would be greatly appreciated!
