Let me start off by saying that I have built many PC's in my days. Ranging from entry level to The enthusiast level for their time. With that said, I am turning to the community for some advice on my new high end build. Since I read a lot before posting this query, here are some pertinent details.
Approximate Purchase Date: Approx. Sept 1st (give or take a few days)
Budget Range: $2500 (I am comfortable with as high as $3000)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (I play mostly WOW and I do not play any FPS), School Work/Production (I'm a programmer), Watching Media
Parts Not Required: I do not need an OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I prefer Newegg but will purchase also from Amazon if they have a better price
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: I prefer Intel CPU's, For GPU's I do not have a preference, I am planning this to be a triple monitor setup so please take that into consideration. (e.g Eyefinity)
Overclocking: Maybe - I have never overclocked, but would like to try with the new Sandy Bridge offerings from Intel. I can also add that for my own satisfaction I would be happy at the 4.0 Ghz mark. So no liquid cooling required.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, Definitely. With my triple monitor setup in mind, I know I will get the best results from more than one GPU.
Monitor Resolution: 3 X 1920x1080
Additional Comments: My current PC is housed in a Thermaltake Armor Case which I absolutely hate! For my new case I am looking for something roomy, with proper airflow for cooling, but I am not looking for something that looks like an alien designed it. Like I said, that armor on my current case is a pain in the butt. I have two cases that I have looked at and like. One being the Antec 1200, and the other many people have talked about, is the Corsair case that is all black and has lots of features for cable managment. Forgive me for I do not recall the exact model.
For my PSU I would prefer a modular unit.
About my monitor setup: My wife and I have seperate PC's. We both have 1 of these monitors:

With my PC upgrade, my wife also wants to add a second monitor to her setup so my question is this:
Is my current monitor, adding two more to it of the same type, compatible with AMD's Eyefinity technology? Or should I give my wife the monitor I have(fulfilling her second monitor request), and purchase 3 new monitors for my setup?
If there are anymore questions please ask and I will do my best to answer them. Thank You.
