So here i am, sick n tired of my 5yo computer with shitty ms and constant lagspikes, decided to buy a new computer finaly... here are the parts i have found, but would love some oppinions good/bad? what to change, if any? and if i should change, why?

2 - CORSAIR 8GB DDR3 1866MHZ (2X4GB) CL9 VENGEANCE - memory
1 - GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 DDR3 S-1155 ATX - motherboard
1 - INTEL CORE I5 2500K 3.30GHZ 6MB S-1155 - cpu, overclock able
1 - CORSAIR FORCE SERIES 3 2.5" 120GB SSD MLC - its small but fast and i wont be needing much space, got my nas for my important stuff with 8TB
2 - ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 560 1GB PCI-E DVI/HDMI/DP - 2 gfx cards... some say 1 with 2gb memory would be better, but what ive found from tests is that when doing SLI mode with 2 of this it goes above most others for alot cheaper...


anyways, ive allready got my 650W powersupply and ofc my cabinet

Price = 930 Euro all in all...

ram is $25 a stick - get 4
SSD's are great, but too expensive for me
the vid card - i went with an ASUS 6950 because it has 6 ports on it

but newegg has a 6970 for $299 (diamond i think)
 
i maxxed out my motherboards ram ports buy doing 2*2*4gb allready so thats 16gig, bit overkill i guess but wth was cheap... SSD didnt really seem too expensive given its a 510/500 mb/s speed hdd, i really just wanted the fast boat/load from it... what im most unsure about is the vid cards... doing 2 geforce gtx 560 sli or doing 1 better card with 2 gig ram instead? what would be best for stuff like wow/BF3 wich is what i play the most
 
aha, good to know :P and seems wow is one of those games acording to their forums...
but it seems BF3 does support SLi/cross

Most new games support SLi/CFX on release and the performance gain goes up as nvidia/amd release optimized driver profiles for them, WoW can still utilize the second graphics card even though it won't be rendering with both so the scaling will be worse than in other games (I believe, not 100% sure though). SLi standard 560s is kinda silly, just get a singular 570 or 2x 560ti and it will increase performance by a lot (can obviously go with AMD counterparts if you want). You're overpaying for ram by quite a bit, 1866mhz modules have next to no performance gain over 1600mhz ones on sandy bridge and 16gb is overkill for anything you'll be doing, if you insist on going with 16gb which you can cause costs at negligible atm drop them down to some cheaper modules. Your power supply might not be able to handle SLi either depending on what quality it is, a decent quality 650w should do fine, bad quality will go pop very very fast. Besides that you're missing a few things from what you've listed: you will need a storage drive unless you do nothing except play a couple of games and have no other files, an optical drive which I guess you're reusing from your case, a cpu cooler is highly recommended even if something cheap like the 212+ or A50
