So ya need a new MoBo / CPU combo for $400 if I understood correctly

$388 after $10 MIR (MSI GD-65 w/ 4670k)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1440495

wanna know why ..... see this thread .... hads buggy Killer NIC driver at release, since fixed.

$360 alternate (MSI GD-65 w/ 4670k)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1440496

Saves ya $30 and both have hi quality MIL Spec components but the extra features of the GD-65 make it well worth it IMO.....

The only other combo I can recommend with similar feature set is the Asus Hero and 4670k .... but at $52 more, the combo is just too much money...
