budget amd/nvdida build for 800 or less???

Hello. I am requesting a budget amd/nvidia hybrid machine for gaming with games such as plantside 2, dota 2,warframe aswell as programming and game development. My limit is 800, it must include an ssd, as well as the os,(windows 8) or 7, it must rival a build with an ik 3570k and a 660 ti. 1600 mhz ram, i do plan on overclocking the cpu in the future. Thanks for everything! Iv'e began researching and wanted some build opinions.

One more thing for a special request. Im probally going to het an amd gpu for the price point but id like a mobo that will allow me to upgrade to a gtx 770,if this isnt posible its fine but id rather the build have it so basically

Tl;dr :

Has to rival i5 3570(k) and the gpu has to rival the 660(ti).

Ram has to be 1600mhz

will be used to overclock eventually

mobo has to be able to surport nvidia gpus and amd gpus if possible.

Thank you so much for such an awesome community!!

Pretty much all mobos support amd/nvidia. 

 

Edit: Here you go: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/18uW5

You can easily get a 4.2ghz overlclock on the 3570k with the stock fan. You won't need more unless you're pushing more than 2 780's in sli. The 7870 overclocks like a beast and should fare well against the 660 Ti.

Keep in mind the 7870 overclocks better than the 660 Ti.

Heya,

 

For your CPU you pretty much wanna go for the AMD 8350 which is in direct competition with the 3570k.

 

I guess any motherboard would potentially do. Asus motherboards are great, so you could go for a budget grade motherboard  Asus M5A97 (Apologise for being UK website. That's where I am from... Just look it up in your local area ^_^)

 

With the remaining budget you could squeeze in something like the 7870, which should do you nicely for a while and leave room for the SSD and OS of your choice

 

Elven

Corsair 400R, i7 3770K @ 4.5GHz 16GB, Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz, Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Motherboard, 240GB Samsung 840 Evo Sata III SSD, 2 x Asus GTX 780 Direct CU2 SLI, Corsair H100i and Corsair AX860i Platinum Power supply.

 here you go the 7870xt should defeat the 660ti and the 8320 once overclocked on the cooler master 212 should rival and even out do  a stock 3570k, if that is how the rival pc is configured if both are overclocked they would be mostly matching each other.

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

You can save money by not buying the OS, if you know what I mean (I can sort you out if you want)
