well as Dragoonseal has mentioned we can't help you till we know what the pc is mainly used for and if its for gaming then we need to know the native resolution of your monitor.

if all you are doing is gaming then this is what you want, also keep in mind that there is no such thing as future proof.

hexa cores are awesome if you do a ton of multi-threaded operations. other than that, you really don't see any performance increase compared to the quad-core I7 Extreme.

hailstorm is bigger so it offers you more room which comes in handy when you are talking LC on cpu/gpu.
the 980x as of right now makes 4 fps difference from a 930, so I dont' think $1000 is worth 4 fps, I don't think anything is worth 4 fps, specially when you are already gonna be getting all the fps you gonna need from sli 480, so the 4 fps will never ever be noticed. |

Well thanks again DS, I got some things to ponder on. As usual thanks to the folks on here to save some $$ and still get a KICKASS rig.
