I kinda thought so.

It's more of want vs. need.

780 SLI if you must but i see no point in either as your monitor is only 1080p and AMD CPU will be just as good in performance vs a 4670k

i5 3570K | Gigabyte Z77-UD5H | Noctua NH-D14 | GTX 670 | 8GB DDR1600mhz G| 2x Kingston HyperX 120B SSD | WD Blue 1TB | EVGA 650w 80+ Gold | InWin GrOne | BitFenix Recon Fan Controller |
