Could try a AMD 7850 Apu build and couple it with a 260x. People are getting pretty impressive mumbers with that setup in crossfire. You need fast 8gb ram. Search the net for the motherboard combos with the 7850. Prices are good when you save a little on the combo purchases

It would be very helpful if you could include all the information in the *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* sticky at the top of the forum.
