Hang on, what are you going to be using this for? If it is gaming, I would recommend the 7970, it is the best single gpu so would be better.

i'd get a decent air cooler instead of liquid cooling, and get a 3gb 580.

Do you think? I've heard really good things about this particular liquid cooling unit and liquid cooling in general... 3GB 580 would be unnecessary as if I wanted more than 2 monitors I'd simply buy another 580 XD.

It would be for gaming yes, and I would but my friends would mercilessly bully me for buying AMD and honestly it's an extra £100 which could easily go towards one third of the price of another 580.

Not on all games at 1920x1080 it isn't, the GTX580 can still outperform AMD's latest just depends on the game.

Well, you could wait for the nVidia 6xx series but I would honestly go for the AMD, it is so much more powerful and will last you longer. If you must, you can easily prove to your friends you have got the more powerful card. Which games exactly would you be playing?

Ok, so as you need (i think) a monitor/keyboard/mouse i have put those into the spec and it got too around 2600
But if thats too much just take the second 580 and you'll still have a 3D gaming beast (i added the glasses so your 3D screen wasn't for nothing!)
Also, i have the Razer Blackwidow ultimate keyboard, and can say i love it to bits, so i change from the G19 you put in to the one i think is better (and cheaper)
Also, my steam id is: the_f3ared add me !
