Nice. Is this to play counterstrike? Then you're all set! Nothing beats a super high end rig to play such an intense gamr. Good luck!

If this is going to be used for gaming 12GB is a waste.
Go with the Megahalem & a Panaflo-M. You will need to get the 38mm fan clips also.

3 4890s will beat 3 260s, but any game will run smooth with only 2 cards @ 1920x1200 + all eye candy (except Crysis maybe)

Also if you plan to put some extra fans in look into getting a fan controller. Sunbean Rheobus 4 or 6 channel depending on how many fans you run.

Three 4890's would be much better than three GTX 260's
