The initial budget was 1000€

RAM DDR3 4GB Kingston HyperX PC1333 CL7 KIT (2x2gb) 46,66
Asus P8P67 1155 (GBL/R/F/DDRIII) 127,20
Gigabyte GTX570 1280MB (PCI-E,2xD,HDMI,A) 300,34
Adattatore wireless MS-Tech LN-68 150MBit/mit 12,48
SSD 2.5" 120Gb Ocz Vertex 2E SATA II 173,11
Noctua NH-D14 - 69,02
Intel Core i5 2400 Box 1155 1 155,20
CORSAIR 650W [CMPSU-650HXEU] 105,17
for a total of 989€
Since than i also bought another 4gb of ram, a fan controler, 4 Noctua fans
and a dust filter for another 200€

Sata 3 ssd weren't available when i bought the parts, maybe i'll upgrade later. I would had considered also 560ti as it is 35% cheaper and only 20% slower than the 570.
i'm also looking arround for a Dell u2711.

P.S. i don't know wth i did with the size of the pictures......

gtx570 is a bit faster and much quieter than ati6970 according to tom's hardware, i read allot of reviews before buying anything. Last pc i bought almost 6 years ago, monitor included cost me almost 3000€....pc that now has a value of 300€tops. So from now on i'll only buy main stream components. No fancy stuff.

Generally, I would try to avoid tom's. When it comes to reviews, check anandtech, hardocp or techpowerup.
Anyway, the 2 cards are pretty much neck and neck.

Either one will do the job but the reason I mentioned the 6970 is because you've the option to drive 3 monitors with a single card, called Eyefinity.
Have a look here:

Very nice, I'm surprised that there aren't any borderless monitors out there, though i have seen a lot of LCD TV's. As nice as it is this technology is not for me, i'm really more of a 1 monitor type of guy, as i said i'm looking for a dell u2711 right now.

What's the point in searching for a quiet GFX card and then filling the tower with 6 MASSIVE fans ? I have a stock cooler on my Core i7 920, nothing in front of the HX750W, one 12 cm PWM fan at the rear and one 9cm PWM fan for two HDDs and the temps are nicely low and I bet it's quieter than yours. I personally never liked the idea of spending money on those grotesque heatsinks and numerous fans.

...one 9cm PWM fan for two HDDs..

"A common misconception is that a colder hard drive will last longer than a hotter hard drive. A study by Google showed the reverse to be true. Hard drives with average temperatures below 27 °C had a failure rate worse than hard drives with the highest reported average temperature of 50 °C, and a failure rate at least twice as high as the optimum temperature range of 37 °C to 46 °C."
