Oh sorry I changed it.

You just press the spoiler box to see what's inside...

The first one, but I find the price kinda high for what you have. Can you post the prices for each part like you did with the second build?

Suggest going with 700watts just for safety.

I would get a radeon 7970 for the gpu and go with the first build, it is more expensive and better or you could do this

The first one is the best...but that's because of the screens and the 680.

What games do you want to play? Do you want 27" monitors?

670 and 680 are better than the 7970...

Well I'm playing hundreds of different games, ranging from Crysis 2, LoL, WoW, SC II, CoD, BF3, etc.

Also, I love big monitors. I hate looking at small ones as it gets really frustrating. I wish I could get a 30" but they are in the thousands so instead I settled with this monitor. Also, one monitor will be for gaming on my Xbox and one for my PC but sometimes I might want to use one for web browsing and one for PC gaming.
