get your mind off of AMD..............i5 is the way to go............. however, if you want an AMD build, try the newer 8cores maybe. the sixes aren't that great. you're not going to gain much of anything over the 775 processor.............. getting rid of the video card would help. big difference between a 6950 and a 560. big difference.

don't buy an SSD right now. it's not worth it over the cpu sacrifice.

buy a black drive or a seagate 500 7200rpm.
