Additional Comments: I just want something that will run highend games such as Metro 2033 & Crysis 2 at high to max settings! Also I am a little concerned about the mobo, CPU, Ram as well as it overheating! I was told that it would be best to change the CPU to an I7-2500k and to get another Mobo... What should I get instead?

Looking forward to your suggestions!
Thank you!

This is just an alternative. Two boys? Two PC's...no fighting over who gets to play...no dividing the playing time. Each on their own PC. This build is set up to add another one of those cards for SLI. You can stick two of those factory o/c gtx 560ti's in those builds and still have enough money to get a decent 1920 x 1080 gaming monitor or even two. And then come X-mas time if those boys have been good, get them each a SSD. There's not a lot of kids out there who can claim to have a build with a 2500K and dual 560's. They would be eating up games with those builds.

Why_Me has a good point there. And a 560Ti is more than enough to play Metro and Crysis with a solid frame rate. 570 would be even better if you can fit it into your budget.
