For an extra $300 I know I'm going to get a solid performance boost with my gaming build. With the better cpu and gpu and overclockability how much better do you think it will perform? I plan on playing the high end games like far cry 3, bf3, crysis, etc. at 1080p with either build. I can tolerate 30 frames but 60 fps is awesome.
