The 6 core is probably overkill for gaming, I would imagine. Also seems like SLI is a bit much for what games you play. Just what I've picked up here.

not too bad, but you can get better performance out of intel to be sure. consider a p55 i7 860 build with the rest of the same stats

The intel system raises the price considerably. If I switch to an intel setup I will not be able to swing the 2x 470's. Probably have to drop to a single or maybe push to a single 480. Anythoughts?

you can get pretty darn close to exactly what you wanted
thats over 1900, but you get a $100 value with the warranty and a $50 value with the game
 
if thats still too much for you, just go to a 750w and a single 480, both very good for your resolution / desires
