I don't know too much about specific computer products so hopefully someone can help me out. Main purpose for this computer is gaming.

I'm planning on going with 2 8800 GTs for my video card. I'm expecting these to run pretty hot so am I going to need to worry about cooling them at all?

Also, I'm trying to decide between the Intel Q600 and AMD Phenom 9750 or 9850 for processor. Can anyone give me a little insight into which one would be the better choice?

I haven't even thought about the motherboard yet, but I guess I have to make a decision on the processor before I can do that.
