Yea, didnt realised i hadnt put an aim for the Specc... It is Gaming, Listening to Music [At the same time] and then general Interweb browsing. <--- Hope that helps.

You don't want 2 copies of shogun then you could give 1 away or sell it ;)

Seriously though what is your budget ? as the 6 core processor is not needed for gaming and you will find it best to go for the best single GPU you can afford and leave a good PSU in to cover for dual cards at a later date if required.

Fear is spot on here. The hexa core won't be any worse than a quad core for games but it won't be any better either. For the sole purpose of gaming it isn't needed and the majority of the time a quad core will suffice.

Again I agree with the comment regarding the graphics setup. Much better off with one high end card than two mid range cards - cheaper, less noise and lower power consumption.

All set to go with this:
