My current computer is 7 years onld and still runs but is starting to so it's age with new games even diablo 3. I want to add a second video card in a couple months as I have 2 24" Monitors. Also I will be overclocking. Thoughts and what would you change. 2000 is max. Mainly gaming, Skyrim, diablo3, guildwars2, and Black ops.

Looks good to me. A second 680 isn't necessary. A single 680 can run 4 monitors at one time and 2 isn't enough for surround.

The only thing I would change since you plan to OC (which also isn't necessary lol) is the cooler.
 
Thank you I copied a build from about a month ago and wanted to make sure nothing drastic changed in regards to hardware. what cooler would you suggest then?
 
200-400k higher, so 3.6 - 3.8 I think that is what i read they are really stable at without water. I just cannot justifiy a water solution at this point.
 
Please for the love of all things holey...... Not the 900 v2./

Antec really hasn't changed it from the original 900, and whle its a good case, its still a 5yr old case. Not great for cabling, It's a pain to work with.
