Hi

Im on the last legs of a new build plan and would like to know if im going in the right direction.

Lets start with what i have in mind, i would like to play on a tri screen set up, my 1st monitor has already been purchased but awaiting delivery (Asus VG236HE) im going to get the other 2 after ive built my rig.

This is what i have so far (these are in my present system and are less than 6 months old)

Corsair TX850w
GTX 470 amp edition (Zotac)

And this is what im planning to buy (the 1st 4 items are a bundle deal from Scan)

i5 2500k o/c to 4.6ghz
Corsair H60 hydro
Asrock Z68 extreme4 mobo
8gb Corsair vengeance lp ddr3 1600mhz
GTX 470 amp edition in SLI
Western digital Caviar black 1TB hdd
Win7 64bit

Also was thinking of adding SSD but homework still to do on this one, ive heard they have a short life span, what are the benefits?(solved)

What Im looking for is high frame rate on max res (1920x1080) on three monitors (technically that will be 5760x1080) but you know what i mean, would i need to make any changes to my build to attain this, bearing in mind that all the monitors are 3D 120hz jobbies, im by no means a cash cow so an exteme rig is not an option. Ps Sorry for yet another new build thread and many thanks all in advance.

All going into either a Haf x or thermaltake level 10 gt case.

Your spec of pc are beautiful.
What else you need~ ^^
Corair H60 is great CPU cooling system but my recommend is H80 or H100 for long run pc life time.
If you are looking for having a 2nd gpu into your spec then must upgrade your PSU to 1000 or higher.
three monitor setting hmm i think one of the 2GB of ATI card is also good choice.
Other then those idea, your spec of pc is very nice.
Good luck~~ ^^;
