Budget:$2000 without Monitor
[Please Type Here] Usage: general/gaming/audio recording [Please Type Here] Special Needs: FW 800 Port [Please Type Here] Hey, close to pulling the trigger here,trying to figure out whats the best system for the budget, should the $ be put into the the 3770k and slower GPU or go opt for the gtx680 with 3570k. SSD or not? I guess with a single card my best option is a 1080p monitor right? |

Hi lennyx... For your budget, maybe $100 over, I would suggest the ODE level 3.
It has the gtx680 which is tops and SSD for faster OS and program boots. The 3770k with its hyperthreading might be what you want if you need firewire. It does 't do anything for games over the 3570k but for video, audio and most every day tasks it is faster. I don't believe any motherboards here have firewire onboard. Asrock and some Intel mobo's do but alot have dropped it. If ODE doesn't do it for you we can put together a custom build but it would be more $ for same features. DS makes the ODE 's tough to beat. Good luck. 
EDIT... There is a mobo here with firewire and here's a build with it. The gtx670 has almost the same gaming as 680 for alot less.
