Im going to be upgrading my system over the next couple of months. This is what im working towards having:
COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Core i5 3570K Ivey bridge (~$225)

Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Bronze W0382RU ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Mushkin Enhanced Radioactive 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 997005

Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F120GB3A-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Now the graphics card(s) is going to be the last part that i buy so im not really worried about it now. but i will probably want to play on a 3D tv soon so any suggestions would be awesome.

Also what 200mm fans do i want for my case? And is my power supply good if i want to run two 7970's or two 680's with my 3570k all Overclocked on air.

Hi, nice build!

First off, there's a few things that could be changed.
-Change the PSU to this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341052 It's around $95 after promo code. It's of higher quality than the TR2.
-Buy an SSD with Synchronous NAND, like this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233191

-What CPU cooler are you looking at? If you're looking to do a lot of overclocking, you'll want an aftermarket CPU cooler. The Hyper 212 EVO is a good low priced option. Can bring a 2500k to around 4.5GHz.

Overall, I think it's a good build. Prices change from day to day so don't get attached to anything.
