This is my first build but I have a good idea of what I want.
Here is what I came up with so far:
[url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/2ef649321dfc40c498a8c5cdc45cfe58[/url]
Im using it mainly for gaming.
I plan on overclocking the Cpu as high as I can, getting another 570 before battlefield 3 comes out and probably getting ivy bridge when its released.
The 23.6" monitor is for gaming and the 22" is for internet and my xbox.
What do you guys think?

If you want to use ivy bridge, just way till its released.
I dont want it that badly but I'd like it as an upgrade option.
Ivy bridge will use socket 2011, but should be backwards compatible. It's just better to wait.
Id rather not wait with the PC I'm using atm.
OT: Is the build ok, do I need to change anything?
for one thing, you don't need a 950w PSU, period.

no it won't
sandy [B]bridge[/B] -> ivy [B]bridge[/B]
see a connection? if not look more closely
if you still don't then do basic research
2011 is Sandy Bridge-E
You don't need a fan with green LEDs in it get a red one.
I was going to but they're out of stock.

What is the most I will need if I'm sli-ing 2 570's
maybe a 750 at most? Most of my computer is overclocked and has the same/better stats than yours, and i'm using a 650w.
Ok, I think I'll go with [del][url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-silverstone-strider-modular-80-plus-silver-88-eff-sli-crossfire-36db-eps-12v-135mm-fan]this[/url][/del]

When Ivy comes in whatever year, my 2500k wont be outdated for years, right?

750w will work but 850w gives you headroom for overclocking, better efficiency, longer life etc.
What do you guys think of the [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-ga-p67a-ud4-b3-intel-p67-express-s-1155-pci-e-20-(x16)-ddr3-2133-sata-6gb-s]mobo[/url]?
Would I be better off with Z68?
That's a PSU, lol. Get Z68 if you plan on using a SSD
Interesting motherboard, I must say.

This has 2 pci 2.0 x16 expansion slots, does that mean 2 cards = x8 bandwidth each?

Oh, carry on then.
It doesn't have to be branded SLI capable to be able to support SLI.
Considering going with this then: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-p8z68-v-pro-intel-z68-s-1155-pci-e-20-(x16)-ddr3-2200(oc)-sata-6gb-s-raid-atx-hdmi[/url]
