the power supply is an overkill for that video card

get this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068

it provides support for dual 120mm top mounter radiator, get the h100

The power supply is perfect for SLI and overclocking.

Resolution?

The week spot is definitely the graphics card, and if you plan to add another one in SLI, your gonna need to choose a different motherboard. I recommend this one:

Also DDR3-1600 is the sweet spot.

Looks great, enjoy.

Well I decided to go with the 400R, and if i start changing cases/watercooling I think ill go over the 1200 budget.

I also plan to continue upgrading and also running SLI within a few months when i can afford another 560.

Cant find the edit button, but the MB i chose has 2x pci E's, it supports SLI so idk, it it because 2 cards wont fit?
