This 5,1 is a very powerful machine and has been an incredible pleasure to own so far (grabbed for under $1000 shipped on eBay last year). The GPU madness this year is a bit of a different story, but at the end of the day comes down to the same conclusion for my use case but with just 2 of those 3 cards being used.
