2011 build advice

Hi, planning new build later this year and i'm not sure but i may need a bit of advice as I may be slightly out of date on some areas. Here is what I'm planning anyway...

Sandy Bridge-E (Probably mid range one but might have to be low, if so then I can always upgrade this later)

Motherboard: Socket 2011 obviously, X79, hoping they release an asus rampage extreme IV but I welcome any advice

RAM: Not too sure if this board supports quad channel RAM or not, Corsair RAM has always served me well but again I'm open to advice

SSD: I've never had one so not too sure about these, will definitley be getting one but need some advice on what to look for

Graphics: As of now I'm thinking GTX 590 Hydro Copper and later on adding another for quad sli

Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D with sata3 and USB3 adaptors

PSU: 1000W corsair or maybe Antec, not sure

Monitors: 3x LG W2363D

Looking to spend roughly around 2500€, to accomodate this budget i can hold out on 3 monitors and only get one

Well any tips, advice would be appreciated thanks
 
yeah, its dual chip so that is like having 2 cards in sli, you could do 4 monitors in theory of one 590 but performance in games would suffer

well if i was you i would forgot about this thread and when lga 2011 is released then plan it could be a year away
 
socket 2011 is scheduled release Q4 this year along with Sandy Bridge-E, they have already showed some motherboards at computex, it is all happening this year, socket 2011, chipset x79, sandy bridge-e. Then in april 2012 or there abouts they will bring out mainstream Ivy Bridge, but I am definitley gonna go with sandy bridge-e as this will be the only enthusiast cpu until at least Q4 2012 when it will be dethroned by Ivy Bridge-E
