save buying loads of different colours if u can't make your mind up lol. mixin the colours got me alsorts. yellow,purple,turquiose,white,red,blue and green.
edit:
ive had chance to do plenty of gaming now. not many different games but enough to see what these cards r like. the colours seem more vibrant than with my 6950 and all games ive played run really nice except arma2. well it runs nice for an old game and i have to have vsync enabled as my cards just heat up loads when in the lobby. bf3 and cs:go run great too with silly frame rates
im gonna get me another monitor after crimbo too. im liking the look of this samsung as its a really close match to what my other 2 look like. same size n res but 120hz. Samsung S23A700D 23" 120Hz 3D
happy so far 
Nice one, Glad to hear they are running well. And it should be great with 3 screens!
I have been doing a little tidying up in my case earlier, It's not perfect at the back, but a darn sight better than it was before I started! And I tidied up the visible cables inside a little more also.
I think it's as good as it will get for me anyway.

Thanks for pointing that out Steve, where would I be without you lol. I can say that the case he is using, the Antec 1100, has a huge amount of room behind the mobo tray for cable management. I don't know about Paul, but while I was working on the layout behind the tray, I got really lazy and didn't spend as much time as I should have on it. Paul's rig is super-clean though. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4) @1866MHz Graphics Card Intel HD4000 Sound Card Onboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell S2309W Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Max Nighthawk X8 Mechanical keyboard Mouse Logitech MX 500 Wired PSU Seasonic X750 80+ Gold Full Modular Case Antec Eleven Hundred Super Mid Tower Cooling Intel Liquid Cooler Hard Drives Samsung 830 128GB SSD - OS

I concur there Kelly, when I first put it together I spent absolutely zero time on the layout at the back, I just make it look ok on the inside and chucked the back panel on
But someone asked me for some pics of my case earlier and I figured it was time to give it a bit of a spruce up | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Paulpicks Special Edition OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit CPU i7 3770K @ 4.6ghz Motherboard Asus Z77 Sabertooth Memory 16GB G.Skill Trident X DDR3 2400Mhz 10-12-12-30 1t Graphics Card Sapphire Vapor-X HD7970 GHZ Edition Sound Card Xear 3d C Media PCI Monitor(s) Displays 27" Hanns-G HL272 LED Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Cyborg V5 Mouse Coolermaster Storm Inferno PSU Antec Truepower New 750 Case Antec 1100 Cooling Antec Kuhler 920 Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 4 128gb (OS), Crucial M4 64gb (Origin), Corsair F60 (Steam).

I agree, Kelly. That was the first thing I noticed. I have a decent amount of space behing my MB tray, but there is no way I could bunch my wires together like Paul did.
