I honestly havent put it to together yet. On paper, it should be similar performance to yours, though. I designed it so that I wouldn't have to get a new CPU for _years_, and am not really planning on OC'ing it until later on when it needs that extra 'boost'. To add to my GPU choice -- I have been bitten before by AMD software that supports their cards. Not going that route again, ever. Had to run an open source graphics card driver a few years back instead of using the proprietary drivers from AMD because the proprietary drivers kept shutting the card off. This was easily 6 years ago so it may not be so bad now.
