Performance gaming build

[jg271]

I would like to get your opinions on this slightly modified @codinghorror's build.

Issues i would especially like to see some knowledgeable people comment on:
+ Will the PSU be able to handle the load?
+ Will the i7-2600K be bottlenecking the two GTX 570s?
+ Is there a better GPU/CPU combination for GPU-intensive/high resolution
(1920x1200) gaming, and if so then how do the noise levels compare to the 2xGTX 570?
+ Isn't 16 GB of RAM an overkill?

Links to appropriate benchmarking results will be greatly appreciated.

Are you even going to be purchasing all of this? Your 570s will be pulling around 300w each so do the math yourself. On the other hand if you're serious about building your own desktop then please refer to: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice

If I was going to do that build for that resolution and budget....

First off I would drop down to the 2500K combo'd with the PC Power & Cooling 950w psu, switch out that board for a Gigabyte UD4 combo'd with 8GB of RAM, combo that, get a case with better cooling (CM HAF), and with the money saved go with dual gtx 580's.

That Asus board is over priced for a gaming build imo, 16GB of RAM is a waste, that Corsair case may be quiet but it doesn't have good airflow...and heat is the #1 issue with dual cards and o/c. I could post a build on here for what the price of that build cost that would mop the floor with the above set up.
