Just make sure you give it the active cooling it needs. You said you're getting a full-tower case, see if you can get one with included or open fan grilles on the side.

Yeah, there's a 200mm intake on the side panel.
They sold out of 590s over the weekend. Know any other place that sells them?
They are discontinued so, good luck with that!
Call (don't email) EVGA customer support directly and ask them. You never know, maybe there's some B-STOCK.
Other than that, Ebay. I saw one starting at like $530 on there the other day, auction seemed legit.
you mean they've literally stopped making them?
what
the
fuck
Yeah, fuck nVidia.
if the 590 is gone get the 6990...
There are some things I love about ATI, but fuck catalyst. I'd rather buy a 460 and wait for the 600 series.
What's wrong with CCC? Have you tried CCC2?
Yeah they literally stopped making them, the production run on the Nvidia dual processor Nvidia cards is always short. That said, the 6990 is the more powerful of the two right now. Tri-SLI 580's still rape SLI 590's or Crossfire 6990's though...
If the 6990 will do the rendering stuff you want I'd go with it, it's louder but more powerful. CCC is a lot better as well, I have to admit it.
When I next build a whole new monster gaming system I'll just be getting whichever GPU solution is fastest, regardless of Nvidia vs AMD. Meaning if Tri-SLI single GPU Nvidia cards offer the best performance, I'll do that. If Crossfrire dual processor cards from AMD offer the best performance, I'll do that instead, etc...
