Re: New rig suggestions said by Phantasee:1080p, Kris. Can't do $2.83 over budget....
jk. Xfire looks tempting. I've never built a dual GPU rig, ever.
Here is another build, using Z77 and two 7950s (you shouldn't be capped by PCIe 3.0 x8/x8), and is top quality parts (aka "I'd build this for me"). As a bonus you get Thunderbolt on the mobo, and a 500 GB SSD.
