If you love it then get it. If you were getting an Intel cpu there is a matching board for the Intel cpu which I would have recomended.

Your build is unbalanced with short and long legs. I take it you want to go against the fad and sure it is your money, but seriously, if you want serious eye candy this is not the way to go.
dual 6870 and amd processor.
You have the budget to make a great gaming computer, instead you spend it left and right on a whim. Having looked at your previous thread it doesn't seem to me you are looking for help but regardless, any asrock/gigabyte/asus 970/990 mobo will do (as long as they got 16+2 phases).
As for your ssd, having installed the same a week ago i can tell you this: Either go for 30gb and cache it (not advised) or get a 128gb one.

There are a lot of great builds on this forum and people who really know their stuff. Amd is good at two things, APU for HTPC and budget 840/955 builds. Other than that you are looking at a Sandy Bridge built.

I am looking for all advise but idk what im doing please recomend a build... amd preferably CUZ I LIKE THAT ITS CHEAP AND I CAN GO WITH CROSSFIREX...

Also would it be better to go with sandy bridge i only have $1000 with without rebates

but that is what i am saying. For the horsepower of amd they are not cheaper. You can have a perfectly capable i5 2500k or 2400 that will rock your gaming world.
As for xfire, some will agree and some may not, but from my point xfiring and sli should be considered from 6950 and 570 and higher cards because the micro stuttering effect is not visible.
cutting to the chase, an asrock extreme3 gen3 and an i5 2400 come at the same price as the amd counterparts. If you want overclocking then the i5 2500k and a decent cooler.
A 1gb 6950 (namely the gigabyte OC version) is enough for all the games you want and if you want to xfire it, the eye candy you receive is mind blowing. You don't have to do it now, do it along the road but prepare the soil for it with a good 850watts psu.
Same budget and the difference in performance is really big.
If you really want the horsepower of the xfired 6870s then get a 570. Less money, pretty much the same performance without having to go through micro-stuttering and huge psu's. It is all a matter of balance across your rig and knowing exactly what you want to do.

You also have to read between the lines of every review you read about. What is your screen resolution? For any monitor up to 24" 1920x1200 the 6950 will play great on ultra settings. Do you have a 27" or higher monitor that let's you play at 2560x1600? If yes then it is a totally different scenario.

I think im going to get intel can you recomend some parts for an intel build under $1000? links please
