A single 7970/7950/680/670 will be plenty for a single 1080p screen, no need to go for multiple cards or a 690, unless for e-peen. If you are getting a 3770k (as that is what I think you are getting from the sounds of it) then you should overclock it. Under international law, it is actually illegal to buy a K series processor and not overclock it.

Yes there is a special court in the Hague that deals with this sort of thing

I believe the penalties are quite severe

20 years hard labour with an AMD CPU.:cool:

What resolution are you using? Because you probably won't even need to spend loads on a GPU, and regardless as to whether a budget is necessary or not, it's always good to save money.
