I am basically gonna go big this time around. I feel ALOT better about going high end with Intel/ATi than I do going SLi with everything nVidia. I went through that crap before and it was horrible. The 680i motherboards pretty much ruined my experience this past gen.
Anyways...this is how I am planning my next PC build this Fall...
Antec Twelve Hundred (watercooled version w/ 200mm rad built in)
Asus X58 R.O.G. Motherboard
Intel i7 2.93Ghz
(2) Non-Reference HD4870x2's Crossfire
Corsair 6GB DDR3 2000 2x2x2 Triple Channel Kit
Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB
CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W PSU
Besides that stuff I will be reusing all the rest of the stuff that I have in my machine...Sharp Aquos 52" 1080p LCD HDTV, Logitech Z-Cinema Speakers & Steelsound 5H v2 Headphones, Logitech G9 Mouse, Logitech G-15 v2 Keyboard, S&S Steelpad Mousepad, (10) eSATA Seagate 500GB. I will be watercooling the new cpu and video cards on 2 separate loops. I will go Swiftech for most of the cooling, but I may be forced to use another brand for the video cards. I know that Asetek is already working on releasing a waterblock for the 4870x2, but I'd like to see another company release a nice waterblock so I have a choice. It should be extremely badass. I already have my money saved up for it. I am literally itching to make the purchase.
Nice build sounds pretty much the exact same thing I have planned for this fall except for the case and water cooling.
