An i3 but with a 780 ? This is a weird spec but well, an i3 is still able to push some good numbers.
 
More pics please?
 
See the workblog

(I3 will turn everything except BF, but this game has a deplorable architecture and uses a lot of resources for nothing)

Yeh .... that kind of GPU power needs a bit more CPU and probably a tad more powerful PSU. Kind of a funky build...but as long as it works for you.... all that matters !!!!! :)
 
I have been testing and no the cpu does not bottle neck the system, not like one would think. I also own 3570k@4.7ghz and a 4770k@4.5ghz. Sure its less frames, but it does not encroach on play-ability. When folding@home, the gpu still pulls down 200k ppd. The 4770k resides in it now, so no need to worry peeps. I will post more pics shortly or you can check out my log at modzoo.com under maestro0428. Thanks for the comments by the way.
 
I voted 8/10 because:

Love the green design all centred around a very cool motherboard. A lot of work went into it!
