MY CURRENT SETUP: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1923685
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

well, for less than $400, this is the best that i can find for you..

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($94.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card ($176.13 @ Newegg)

The only problem i see with your solution is the the PNY GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card cannot crossfire. Maybe you can suggest a MOBO and Processor to support SLI instead? BTW i was looking ~$400. going over right now is fine. just not too much.
