BUT is it up to Karma standard????

Wait a month or two for bulldozer but if you really can not which would be a stupid decision I would go with this

HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $69
Good, Cheap HDD
CASE: BitFenix Shinobi Case with Window- $75
Good Case up to 7fans, change the case if you don't like it
CPU: i5 2500k $219
Don't buy the i7 version waste of money, "K" version is easy to overclock, google how to OC it and unlock its awesomeness
CPU COOLER: CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler -$33
Cheap aftermarket cooler, will do the job
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD - $109
Place your OS, Games and Editing programs on here, go 120GB if you think you will need more room
MOBO: ASUS P8P67 PRO Motherboard B3 - $195
Good mobo, Supports SLI/CF
PSU: Silverstone Strider Plus 850W - $169
Reliable brand, great reviews on it, room to CF
GPU: VTX3D Radeon HD6950 1GB x2(CF)- $458
or if you don't wana CF then go Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 1280MB Overclocked- $ 369
CROSSFIRE BRIDGE- $12
OS: Windows 7 64bit - $105
OPTICAL DRIVE: Samsung SH-222AB SATA DVDRW Drive - $22

Would be much better of going with the 6950 CF unless your going to use PhysX
Look at these benchmarks,
www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/299?vs=306

Comparing a single card to a dual card setup....

And using Crysis and Metro for benching...

$100 price difference

Only because you went with the VTX3D model.

If you're playing above a 1080 resolution or have a multiple monitor setup I could understand going with cf/sli.
