hey guys,
I am building a new PC for gaming. For games like Guild Wars 2, BF 3, Starcraft 2, Dead Space 3 (in the future)...

I am planning to overclock CPU to 4.2 - 4.5GHz, probably wont overclock Memory and GPU, maybe will buy another GPU for 2-SLI

heres the link to pcpartpicker:

Would appreciate if you could comment your opinon about this build.
Thanks in advance.
 
by trimming some of your larger excesses (no need for a $200 case, or $200 in mouse/keyboard), and a less expensive motherboard, I got you two GTX 670s and Three monitors:
