I'm currently running an AMD 1090t Black 6 Core and 660ti 3Gb. I'm really into installing loads of mods in Skyrim. I have almost 200 installed alot of high texture mods (2k and 4k). I run between 25 and 30fps but its up and down. I get some choppy ness every so often. In some cities I get 15fps. My current motherboard doesn't support multi GPUs so I need a new one that does. I want to get a second 660ti 3Gb if I can find one but thats a separate budget. Any ideas on a new board, and CPU under $1000?

Update 2/6/2014

This is what I have found:
ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011
and
Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E 3.7GHz

Does it have to be the ASUS brand?
Thank you for your response.

Thank you, but I am not looking for a complete build, just the CPU and Motherboard.
