Just built something similar myself however with the ASUS Z68 motherboard, and the GTX 560Ti GPU.

Very pleased with it, its overclocked fantastically and the performance is impressive.

Thanks for your response Adrian.

Greg - the benchmarks for the 6850 seem to be fine - COD gets a solid 100 fps in full HD on max, and the card can push 30 fps in 1080p on Crysis (Very High)

By the way, I simply don't have the money to get a 6950 - I'm a student
