I would take the 580. The 6990 is only about 16% better and has to rely on crossfire, eats more power, and may not scale in certain games.

Both and all cards would fit on the mobo, in the case is another matter. Personally i'd go with the 6990 provided you have an adequate power supply. AMD older cards tend to perform better than the equivalent nvidia cards due to better drivers upkeep.
