A little less CPU power now (Tri-core) (You can also try unlocking the fourth core), but in a few months when you save a litte more money, you drop in an AMD Hex core, then get the second video card for Crossfire, and you'll have a great system. This system has SATA 6 GB/s and USB 3 and the board can easily overclock. I strongly suggest you d/l the manual for the MOBO and browse through it. Budget of $700.00 is pretty tight to work with.

Hope this helps...

that's way overbudget i already had a build for 766 with win 7 included

 

[mrhoshos96]

or if u don't care about usb3 and sata 3 change the mobo+ram combo to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131366

it will make the total $741.41 before $65 rebates

I think the 460 would be a little better for 1080

*edit: I just realize that the odd was cut out from the top http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136180

 

[mrhoshos96]

mmm that's still over budget and the build isn't sli ready

[mrhoshos96]
