^^ Nice config!! He doesn't need usb 3 and sata 3 so p8h61m lx will suffix!!
intel h61 3000
i3 2100 6000
value ram 1100
cx 430v2 2200
elite 310 1800
total 14100

so that leaves almost 11k for the gpu, or i5 2400 cpu with a 7k gpu?
How about the HD 7770? or gtx 560?
what do you say?

1024x768 resolution doesn't need a gpu like HD 7770 or gtx 560. Better buy an 18.5" monitor(5k) and HD 6770(6k-7k) with that 11k.

iittopper, the version of 6670 you're talking about comes with slower DDR3 memory. However, the GDDR5 version is not that costlier, in THEITWARES, both MSI and Sapphire GDDR5 version is available at 5.6K. Local price might be cheaper, like 5.3K.
