2 X GTX 590 or 4 x 580
Intel core i7-2600 proccessor - (if anything better then that for socket 1155 that you could think off, please suggest)
(I dont see the ram slots listed, anyone know how much can be added?)
im yet to decide on a PSU.
Will this work?

i think the i5-2500 is better value for money if you're a gamer

Don't go 4x 580 - benchmarks repeatedly show that the 4th is more or less redundant. That's often the case even with 3x.
2x 590 however is a powerhouse.

If you have extra money to spend, definitely stick with the i7. Get dual 590s. If you have money left over run 2 SSDs in RAID 0. More money left over, get bigger SSDs.
Don't waste your money on 4x 580s.
But unless you're running games on three monitors, I don't really see why you need two 590s. Just sayin'.

Or 3D, or multi monitor 3D. Still, i was thinking of the thermaltake 1350W power supply
Thermaltake - Australia - Toughpower 1350W - TP-1350M
i still need to come up with a case and cooling system (With or without the case, probably gonna need to be custom if i'll be running Quad-sli 590.

or... HEX 590 SLI. :D
Post 10
Again, quad 590's will be a waste of about $2000. You'll see no real improvement with a 3rd or 4th card.
Post 11
I was joking about the hex sli :D 590 is a dual gpu card, So essentially 2 x 590 = Quad GPU SLI. Hex SLI = 3 x 590 o.O

Or save "000, and put that towards an upgrade when Moore's law catches up with the current gen of cards.

or even better, we wait for unlimitied detail technology. No special graphics card required, if only every company would use it.
