What resolution and what games will you be playing?
Grand, well you'll be fine then. The higher the resolution you go, the less the cpu bottleneck will become. If you could eventually fit an i7 in there even better.
you need decide your screen before you pick your hardware these days
more than ever
id start there, find a screen you happy with

I'll leave in the charming and capable hands of our resident Monitor expect, Mei.

Oh cool! Glad the bottleneck goes off cpu at higher res. I don't really intend on changing my motherboard soon so I was debating dropping in an i7 3770k but wasn't sure if i'd really see that much difference with my 2500k 4.5ghz?
Yep I'd definitely recommend doing that. Not only will you get a cpu with more threads which will perform better with two gpu's, it will also be a bit faster clock for clock and you will double your pci-e bandwidth which will be crucial at 4k.
