What title says.

I got my dual 290's to work.

Currently have a 9570 and Sabertooth 990FX and i'm getting really hardcore bottlenecks on CPU.

I could transfer my CPU loop.Just need to call EK for some brackets & stuff.If I do change I'll change my case and PSU all together.

Any Ideas?

CPU,MOBO,And Case included in $1000 price range?

Looking towards a NZXT H440...

Maybe a S340?

Gotta have a side panel though.
