Just filed my taxes and i'm thinking about a new build. getting 2300 back, but i'm willing to spend 1200-1500 give or take a few bucks.

 

Beside the rig in my signature, i have another with a 3770k @4.7, msi mpower, 780, and 16 gigs of ram.

 

I do a fair bit of video editing and a good amount of gaming. I'd most likely just retire my 2500k rig and use the other 780 in this new build or run them sli in my 3770 rig.

 

Looking for some inspiration here. Should i go ivy-e? or really go nuts on my 3770 rig? Willing to spend the same amount regardless.
