your thoughts?

If you are going with air cooling, you should go with haf cause it has the best airflow and will give you the best temps, the haf comes with 3 x 230mm fans, one on top,side and front, so you are getting pleanty of airflow which is what you want since you are on air, the 950si or hailstrom is more for people who have water cooling on cpu/gpu.

but its your system and its not like the hailstorm won't work, if that is the case you want then get it.

for dual sli le should be ok, keep in mind the le has the same number of pci slots as classified, but if you want tri sli then go classified.

2 x 275 out performs 1 x 295 and is cheaper.

keep in mind only the new ati cards have dx11 support, so if its important to you go ati or wait a couple of month for the new nvidia cards, if its not important to you the sli 275 is great.
