What do you think of this Gaming Rig?

I'm looking to upgrade to my old E8400/HD4850X2 for something with more grunt. I am sure you all aware how devastating it would be to have poor FPS on the 11.11.11. Like every build i do I like to post my hardware spec before i buy and get other peoples feedback so if you could share your thoughts on this setup it would be appreciated greatly. So far I'm looking at

ASUS P8P67 PRO Motherboard B3 (the fixed version, not the dodgy, recalled version)

Intel Core i7 2600K

HIS Radeon HD6970 2GB x2 in ATI crossfire

Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 9-9-9-24

Hopefully, this will smash Skyrim out of the water and ask for more :P I would be very grateful for some feedback.

looks very similar to another build elsewhere where the dude got almost 30k in 3D mark 06,he got two gpu′s though but don′t remember if the score was with one or two cards,it will regardless kick some behind :D
same cpu,mb and gpu on the dude′s build iirc.

Based on the components thus far, pretty good. Only get the 2600K if you're actually going to use the HyperThreading. Otherwise, the 2500K performs just as well if gaming is all you do. I have one and it's an amazing chip for sure with its overclocking potential.
