You're not going to need anywhere need that budget to run Rift at max settings at 1080p.

ATM AM3 and 1156 are both dead, as in no more cpu being made. That leave 1366 which is due to be replaced in q3.

So this means you'll need to be happy using older tech, or spend a little extra to go x58.

BTW tigerdirect website sucks. Search sucks, parts selection sucks and their design is just bad.

Simple build would be:

PSU

Won't need a second 6970 for Rift, but you'll have the option and to just throw one in when you need it.
