Now Im comtemplating putting two of these in my build is this a good idea?

Next thing, Motherboard, I have no clue all I know is GIGABYTE do good motherboards, again leave suggestions

Cooling. -WTF do ineed here? Leave suggestions

Processor i5 or i7 intel depending on how my budget is going.

case - Will find one myself

Chips - .... again WTF

Hard Drive - Looking for about 1TB+ again depending on my budget

RAM- looking for something in the range of 6-8+ for affordable price

Everything else I have left out

No clue what im doing.

Damn it perry now I got to convert euros.

Putting 2 670's isn't a bad idea. I would put 2 680's, but you can't find those anywhere.

Case: Fullsize is the way to go. If you want bigger, go for the CoolerMaster Cosmos II. Its bigger than big.

CPU: i5 2500K is a good processor, and its cheap. It can over clock to 4.5 Ghz.

Chips: Try these http://www.fritolay.com/assets/images/blue/lays-classic.gif

Just kidding, get a decent motherboard by EVGA or something. Some name brand. I got an AsRock P67 Extreme 4 Gen 3. I can overclock it.

Optical Drive (The thing you put those outdated "CD-Roms" in): Any will do, but a lot are shitty pieces of plastic that don't work then get your CDs stuck in there. If you have extra cash, get a Blu-Ray Read/Write one. If you don't and you need to save, get a Optical Drive by Sony, preferably one that can write, even if you don't think your going to pirate music.

Hard Drive: 2TB is plenty, unless you are storing and making hardcore porn or something. And a SSD is a great to store Windows/Games that require fast read time for boot ups. (An SSD reads faster then a HDD, but it writes slower.)

Power Supply (The thing that makes shit run): For 2 670's I would suggest 800-850 Watts of power. Corsair makes great PSU, and thats what I put in mine. Check this one out. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7195039&CatId=2534

CPU Cooler: Depends on what CPU/Motherboard you are getting.

RAM: I got 12GBs in mine, bought 16GBs. The CPU cooler blocked one of my ram slots. 12 GB works fine for me anyhow. I got 16GB of good corsair memory for just under $100 (80 Euros)

 

I made a good PC for about $1400. Here are my Specs

Case: NZXT Phantom White with Red Trim and Red LED Fans

MotherBoard: AsRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3

HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black

GPU: GTX 570 Superclocked (Planning on getting 2 of these, or getting a 680)

CPU: i5 2500k

CPU Cooler: Don't remember

PSU: Corsair 700W

Optical Drive: Sony Read/Write

So Euros are only worth 80 Cents in USA, I don't think you will stay with your budget. 2 670's are $800 alone. That 647 Euros. More then half of you budget.

For cooling, I would do air cooling. Just buy and install as many fans as your case can have. I've heard too many stories of water cooling failure and expensive stuff getting messed up.

 

Your biggest problem will probably be wiring. Its quite complicated and I guessed on a lot of the wires. My computer works, so I guess I did it right.
