I don't want to go over $900. Want to play games at 50-60 fps for 3 years+. I never use AA as I prefer the improved performance. If you feel I have an unnecessary amount of anything so I can shave off a couple bucks please let me know. I have a 1920x1080 monitor and don't care for a SSD at this moment.
