Out of what the OP listed, the Dual 680M's would your best bet. ((In terms of 3D, i'm not sure if what EBrownfield said applies to this build. Needs research.))

In the battle between 680 SLI and a 690, you would be lucky to see a 5% difference.

Previous poster is correct!

I have a GTX 690 right now, and although sexy and as powerful as the previous poster's obvious Puma featuring avatar, it's by no means the best bang for your buck. I bought it because I have more money than sense, and I know that with it's aluminum body, I can club to death as many zombies as I want when I run out of ammo...

Why on earth are you quoting graphics cards which are meant for laptops? Hence the "M" at the end.

Also, would you want to buy an Alienware PC? They're overpriced and overrated.

US buy from www.newegg.com and get someone who knows what they're doing to built it for you
UK buy form www.scan.co.uk and get someone to build it for you, or buy it from them @ www.3xs.scan.co.uk - They don't charge much.

I assure you, you'll get a better deal and better parts. If you're worried about which parts to pick, ask people over @ http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc

Why didn't you just grab two GTX 680s and SLI?

this would be dependent on what type of card you're looking for Nvidia or AMD I use Nvidia the best bang for your buck for power would be 4 GTX 670's since the performance difference between them and the 680's is small. Asking for AMD I would recommend looking at Toms Hardware.
