Yes, former is supposed to be 550$ max. Not disclosed yet.
Its supposed to be the most advanced card in history of gpus.

Awesome, massive cooler, sexy backplate, and fcking 19 power phases(high end mobos come with 16 these days
) 
Only two letdowns here:
1. Stuck to 1.5GB Vram(lightning xe has 3gb)
2. 3 slot cooler(good bye sli)
and finally Asus=Rashi=DO NOT WANT

Only one monitor, so I won't be getting the xtreme edition, just the normal lightning with 1.5gb vram. I might consider the xtreme if its available early, that is one cool card.How many monitors are you planning to setup? The 3GB VRAM goodness will go down the drain with only a single monitor. But that sure is one sexy card. Damn wish I could get a 580 but costs too much. I would probably need a 120k budget to fit it in
I think with a budget of 80k you can set aside some 30k for CPU-mobo combo and some 25k for GPU. Rest 25k you can spend for RAM, SMPS, Cabinet, UPS and CPU cooler. So going by your config:-
It looks pretty OK except SMPS. Better go for a modular SMPS. HX750 should be around 8.5k.

Well modular is extra 2.5k, I'm gonna buy a good headphone so these will overshoot the budget, I'm good at cable management, I can make do with TX.

Well modular PSU is a waste of money when you are getting a cabby like the HAF 912 which has plenty of cable routing space behind the mobo. TX750 should do fine.
Everyone recommends the 1.1KVA APC UPS but I think for 1.2k more the 1kVA UPS is a better buy as it has automatic shutdown ability. An important feature to have if you often leave your computer unattended for downloading or encoding.
And are you sure the CM N620 is good enough for your build? Spend 500-600 bucks more and get the TRUE 120 Rev. C. Way better than the CM.

tkin,if you have a mobo with PCIE config similar to ROG extreme models then on the matrix ROG SLI aint bid goodbye.
depending on the price of the Xtreme Edition, i might sell these cards and save cash for 2 of those puppies.
also 560 Ti aint shader bound.each has 384 cores.SLI will be better than single 580.

@nginx Yeah, my current ups have this feature, will look into it.
@Extreme Gamer, i'm looking for z68 boards and none have that much space, i am contempt with one card, so its either lightning or asus dc2 cause these have hdt coolers, leaning towards the lightning though, those have mem cooling, 16 phases and binned chips, asus dc2 has no mem cooling and oc is not guaranteed but has nec prodalizer and backplate, damn choices.

^ Nobody knows when it will arrive. It was supposed to arrive by now, who knows how long they will delay. I think first Gigabyte will come and then Asus which means in order to get hands on Asus boards we might have to wait till July. Its getting a bit too late. Atleast knowing the prices of Asus Z68's by now would have helped a lot in decided whether to wait or go for the P67.

Hey tkin, you are contempt or content?
contempt means making fun (ie mockery) of a verdict AFAIK
2x 560s should fit.

Yes, content, was drowsy after giving 6 exams, anyway i don't like sli, too many scaling issues, heat issues etc, the lightning fits the bill, its that or the asus dc2.
June 1st plan is on, will sms mukherjee, nginx, I'll pm you.
@ mukherjee, the 590 will overshoot budget by 15k and also has vrm issues, nvidia is bringing out rev 2 of 590 due to this, i'm game for either a lightning or asus dc2.

what scaing issues are you talking about?
gtx 500 doesnt have them if the game is not cpu intensive or poorly coded.
in crysis and c2 i get 95%+ scaling.even metro 2033.
