Gaming Computer Help

[Dedusly]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the Forums, and am in need of a little help.
I am building a gaming computer and to be honest I don't know much about computers in general. What I need help with is if you can please tell me if the rig I have at the moment will work well and if everything is compatible. If something isn't compatible, please let me know and suggest something that would be.
CPU - Intel Core i7 3770K
PSU - Corsair CMPSU-950TX 950-Watt TX Series 80
Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth Z77
Video Card - Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce SLI (x2)
RAM - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB)
SSD - 128GB Crucial M4 (x2)
Internal Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB (x2)
Optical Drive - ASUS 24X DVD Burner
Sound Card - ASUS Xonar Essence STX
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Thanks.

Jeeze what's your budget?

based on experience, make sure you have enough air movement. that top 670 will cook in summer in an Australian (non-aircon) room. I had to watercool mine. I too had the windforce variety. Just ensure that one CAN be watercooled if you decide later. Essentially you need to match the waterblock to the PCB. A reference card will be easy. Non reference cards should be avoided. Mine were reference.

Essentially the issue is the back of the bottom card generates and radiates super amounts of heat. From there its sucked into the small air supply available to the top card.

Other than that ,.... sweetest pc on this forum probably.

Enough

Thanks for the help, mate. I thought I might have to include water cooling, that just wasn't really a problem for me. If I needed it, I'd add it in, but apart from that I wasn't worrying. Thanks again.

By the way, do you think I should keep the two GTX 670's or switch to a single 690? My friend told me it'd be cooler and a lot quieter.

I don't know much about the 690 but usually they're not cool, but compared to 670SLI, it would be similar heat, but much easier to manage due to the clearance in front of the single graphics card for raditaion.

In terms of watercooling, all im essentially saying is if you get 670s ensure you can watercool (i.e. reference design pcb) just in case you want/have to.
