Get any 1920x1080 monitor with good ratings 2-5ms response time
2 7970's
8gb ram
i5 3570k
asrock extreme4 or other z77 with 2 3.0@x8
Go with the evo 12 by corsair for cooling
People seem to like antec and corsair so go 750watt.
Case is more of personal preference, just make sure it is an atx mid tower or larger.

The first 2 configurations are ridiculously imbalanced... 3570 with 2 7970s? 1200w PSU with 1 GTX670? What are you people smoking... And don't get me started on $309 s1155 motherboard and Razer peripherals (yes I'm unfortunate enough to own Razer's very own Lycosa, and I wish I've never spent my money on that overpriced piece of *beep*).

Main rig:
Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz $569,99
ASRock X79 Extreme3 LGA 2011 Intel X79 $199,99
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 $75,99
SAPPHIRE 100351SR Radeon HD 7970 3GB $379,99
Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler $80,99
CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W $169,99
Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB $109,99
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 7200 RPM $183,99
COOLER MASTER HAF 922 $99,99

Total: $1870,91

Peripherals:
SteelSeries 6Gv2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard $79,99
Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse $44,99
BenQ RL2450HT 24" Monitor $199,00

Total: $323,98

Grand total: $2194,89

You can get these cheaper if you take the time to look in different shops yourself.

This rig will last for years and years to come, you'll just have to drop in another 7970 for some crossfire action, or replace it with a better model in few years. CPU and the rest is there to stay.

Edit:
Also forgot to mention, you get 3 games with 79xx series cards +20% off of new Medal of Honor

Here is an awesome system with enough graphics power to max out any game at 60+ frames per second. It costs but $1807 leaving you with over $400 for your peripherals.
