What's your budget and why the 7990?

Only the i5 3570 and the Kingston RAM can be found in Lebanon. And the 7950 Vapor-X and 7970 Vapor-X if you are interested in these models.

The 7990 is overpriced and doesn't OC well. For its price, you could buy 2 x 7970s and OC them way beyond, and have better cooling per card and higher performance, and get almost the same games bundled too, and still end up saving anywhere between $100-$200. Current availability of the 7990 is limited too.

What about the power supply? You want 500W or not 500W? You're looking at a 850W or more PSU for CrossFire, 7990 or no 7990.

EDIT: Also, have a look around the forums a bit. Several people were building rigs, with 7950s, single and CrossFire, and such.

You can ship from US and UK, yes.

You can check their items list online but watch out some items might be over priced, call them and ask them it happened with me once.

I also suggest You get a better CPU and Motherboard and ditch the HD7990, the CPU and the Motherboard are two items in your computer that you might not change very frequently, the VGA on the contrary, can be changed anytime You want.
an i7 LGA 1155 or 2011 is a great choice especially that you have the budget for a HD 7990.

A 500W power supply is not recommended on such a card. When using dual GPU or 2 cards I suggest something that's 750W or above. Anything below will not run.

The Transcent SSD is not similar to the Samsung 840 Pro. The 840 uses a newer technology and smaller transistors. Not to mention it's way faster. I would ship that from Amazon.

Get an 850W XFX PSU from PCandParts.com, Get a big case that you know is supported with CF(CrossFire)

I suggest you get 2x 7950s instead of a 7990 or 7970. It's much cheaper, can overclock beyond a 7970 and has much better value. For RAM, get 2x 4GB Kingston HyperX Red.
