Havent tried with vsync off
Anti-aliasing 16xEQ
Antisotropic Filtering - Game decides (per Skuzzy)
Catalyst AI - High Quality
Anti-Aliasing Mode - Super-sample
Verticle Refresh always on

All settings in game maxed
- Solid 60fps everywhere

3DMark Vantage score 34825

CPU will likely go higher - throttling is still enabled
But I'm happy where it is
Cores never hit over 50c

You've got a really nice computer built, but you are running it on a very middle-of-the-road Viewsonic flat panel.  You've got the graphics power to get full HD at 85Hz if you get a LCD that will handle it.  Your FPS is limited by the HZ on your flat panel, so more is better if you can get it.  Admittedly - I run a 26" Samsung at 60Hz in 1920x1080 and it looks beautiful, and I don't think I can see more than 60fps, but I wouldn't turn down 85hz if I could set it that way.

Go take a look at an Asus VE278Q - something like that will probably do you quite well.

With that rig you should be running 3 monitors for gaming.
