I'm looking to build a new tower with a budget of $1200-1300. The primary purpose will be for gaming. I wasn't sure if sli in this price range is a viable option over a single card. I do plan on overclocking. I was debating on a Intel Core i5 ivy bridge over the i7. I haven't build a tower in ~4-5 years so I'm out of date on what current chip sets etc are better than others and so fourth. So I won't be hurt if you come up with a completely different list. Thanks for your time guys. I really appreciate it.
