Really?

#1 We need specs of your PC

#2 Monitors dont run off your PSU

Sounds like you need to do some more research

lol, no prob.

Minimum PSU for your setup would be 750w. I would go with 850w to cover your overclocks. Make sure it is a good quality PSU, ex. Corsair, EVGA.

Also if you are going with 2 GPU in SLI you can get a much cheaper motherboard. The ASUS Maximus V Extreme is a 4-way SLI capable mobo and makes it much more expensive. If you plan to add more than 2 GPUs later you need to buy a more powerful PSU. If not save some money and go with a different motherboard.

Also if I were you I would go with a 3770k/3570k and Z77 motherboard, you will be running at native PCI-E gen 3. I had a 3770k before with H100 and it OC to 4.9ghz with ease!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371050 would it work with i7 i only ask because i saw one that was 750 watt and it said i7 compatible and what mobo would you reccomend?

You don't need an H100.

Ya thats a nice PSU @ a good price.

I like the Asus or Asrock Z77 motherboards.

Those two boards are the minimum requirement for SLI in your configuration. Its up to you if you want the higher up versions of those boards for more bells & whistles, ex. bluetooth, more ports/slots.

Also if your PC is just for gaming then then the i5 3570k will be good enough. 3770k & hyperthreading is for other areas, including video editing. Only 1-2 games actually use hyperthreading. Hopefully in the future there will be more.

If you are close to a Microcenter the last time i looked they are having a special for 3570k for $189 + an additional $50 off any Z77 motherboard bought with it. Best deal Ive seen.

Amuffin is right you dont need a H100. Unless you are just a overclocking manic and want the best without going to a custom water loop. But be aware IB gets really hot past a certain threshold and even the best cooling solution might only get you 100-300mhz higher OC compared to a lower-end reliable CM Hyper 212 Evo.
