2x X58 mobo's
2x 24GB DDR3 RAM
2x 2 GTX 590 3GB
500GB SSD
2x 3TB Hard Drive 6Gb/s

I would love to see this done, i think Arma 3 could run pretty well on this. And Cliffs of Dover would run maxed out

Nope, sadly.

If you wanted to run a pair of CPUs you would need to go for Xeon 5500/5600 or Opteron 4100/6100 series processors on a single server or workstation motherboard. If you can find a board with the right number of PCI express slots, the rest is definitely possible.

Unfortunately 99% of software these days is barely written to take advantage of multiple cores let alone multiple processors, so a build like this would be almost a total waste for gaming
