Yes but I think you have some overkill there. You don't need three video cards that's overkill. Also that motherboard wont even support triple crossfire. One highend video cards in most cases is good and two high end video cards is more then enough. Secondly you don't reallly need a 1000 Watt PSU. A good quality 850 Watt PSU will run everything fine including two high end video cards. I also don't think you really need a 2TB HDD. I have a 1 TB and I have it loaded with games and it's not anywhere near being full. I also wouldn't spend the money on a network and sound card but that's just me.

That board won't run triple crossfire. Change it to at least an atx board that can support triple crossfire.

The antec cooling units also aren't very good, a corsair h80 or h100 would be a much better choice, or actual water cooling could be an option.

You need a board that can support the 3 6950's.

I would stay away from those cooler kits. IMO water cooling kits are a waste of money. If you want to water cool do a custom water cooling loop.

ok so a p8z68-m pro wont run 3 6950's??? note i am NOT using crossfire im getting 3 monitors eventually and will put 1 video card on each monitor do i still need another board if i do that

You don't need three cards for 3 monitors. One AMD or two NVIDIA cards are enough for that.

note i have changed my mind and have decided to wait for the 7990 to come out and get one of those
