I doubt he'd be going to the SLI route though. He also needs a monitor since his is 15' 1024 x 768.

Get this i5-2500k + Gigabyte z68 bundle.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombos.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&SubCategory=343&SortField=0&PageSize=10&Page=2

Get this PSU combo with 8gb ram

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.745077

Get a better monitor, cut the costs on other pheripherals and get a 20" above 1920 x 1080p monitor since a 6770 would be able to handle anything at 1024 x 720.

Monitor

Anyway, your links are wrong. Your CPU is Corsair 850w and your mobo is HAF X.

Get this HDD save $10.

Get a 6950 or 6970

6950 $200 bucks

6970 $300 bucks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102918

Make sure you buy a monitor then pick whatever GPU u can squeeze in.
