New performance PC

[hotwired007]

I have 2 7950s left over from mining, i want to rebuild my main PC - it gets used for everything.

I want to build a reasonably good rig - that can use all my components optimally

I have an InWin Track case, 2x 7950s, evga supernova 850w, 120GB SanDisk SSD, 3TB HDD so looking for a new motherboard, CPU and RAM.

Have a budget of around 1BTC/£250/$380/350euro

any recommendations.

If both graphics cards are working fine, sell one of them and use it to buy an i7 CPU, that's what I'd do, then the RAM and Motherboard can be just about anything as long as it's compatible, I want to get a Intel Core i7-4790K myself, there really is not much point in having two graphics cards for gaming unless you're doing 3D rendering.

I7 CPU is too costly, why not just get I5?
