400R is a good case.. Also look for Nzxt Tempest EVO in the same price range...
6970 CFX is a good choice.. As scaling is better in AMD...
CPU + motherboard + cooler queries

But Mega i had silverligh arrow which is protruding 168+mm So i want a full cpu support above 170mm on the safer side. As well from USB. This is little high on my tight budget but good for a long run i felt. Looks nice and neat design. I actually not interested in investing case but due to my setup is pushing me in everything to build a proper setup.
@ICO I dont wanted to jump in CF but later a year or so when game demands more vram or gpu power and need for cf to run much smother. As you could see games are keep on growing in graphics though not hard on gpu ie high end but still fps is not a big deal but smoth play is a must welcome by every type of players. We dont wanted to loose a play because of low profile gpu or other setup. After all it makes us feel happy while playing which should not at any case gets disturbed.

yup. I got your point there. VRAM won't double if you SLI/Crossfire two 2 GB cards. It shall remain effectively 2 GB only. Not 4 GB.
I agree on your point from the performance point of view. But you see, after a year you'll see a mid range card of 17k performing 50-60% more than the mid range card of this generation. That would be like 70-80% the multi GPU setup between previous gen's 2 mid range cards. And that too without any driver issues rendering your multi GPU setup not worthwhile. That's all I have to say.

So you recommend me to go for CF now or later. I believe any possibility to pair a furture card with current 9 series. Advise me on this. I had an eye asus cu2 6970. But which is better 6950 or 6970. As i could save 5k if i get 6950 oc . Would i get similar performance. I dont want to feel later i could have gone high. As now i felt if i had gone 6850 for that extra 2k would save me investing another 20k gpu. Which is hard you know. its a life time investment on these cards and wanted for us to go with it for years.
