A Phenom II build would probably be a better bet in this scenario. Either way, scrap the 900, get a 4890, 520HX, 640GB WD etc - try the midrange workstation build here.

I thought you liked the 260 216 Carbon?

Or just that the 4890's better?

4890's just better, like $20 more often for a lot more performance. If you're at that res you might as well just go for the third-tier of GPUs.
