Also it may benefit in the future with AMDs Mantle which might give a significant performance boost on several games.
I'm an nVidia fanboy myself but I can't help but look with envy to what AMD ha to offer at the moment.

As for the CPU you should go with the Xeon E3-1230 v3. It's at about 99% of the power of a 4960x but 4 times cheaper.
For an SSD you can't go wrong with a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB. You should install your games on it as well.


I am a bit out of touch with CPUs but weren't XEONs designed for servers and CAD type applicatiosn and not gaming?
