Do you need an OS, do you have access to a Microcenter or Fry's, do you have a case preference, or a size preference?

Don't even bother planning now, it's useless. You may as well plan after Christmas, when you actually have the money and can take advantage of the sales that are on at that time.

Pricing changes too wildly.

Depends on your monitor. If it's a 1080p 60hz, you only need one 970.

Looks nice but isn´t that overkill for a 60Hz monitor? And i was thinking about going with the asus gladius when it came out although it is expensive :)
