    What processor and mobo would you recommend?

    I take it's for gaming.. If that's the case

    Asrock z77 extreme 4 and intel core i5 3570k woukd best bang for buck get agood after market cooler like thermalright macho for example or corsiar h100 and overclock the **** out of it :D

    If you will be doing a lot if video editing and what not and will benifit from hyper threading then go i7 3770k.. But for games this will perform almost the the exact same as a 3570k..

    For very little extra money over the MSI GTX670 you could get a Sapphire HD7970 GHz Edition which often outperforms even a GTX 680 at ultra high resolutions like @2650X1600.
