So I have a Z800 that is no longer needed by a relatives company. I don't intend to do any video editing or the like... however I will do some decryption/encryption of some dvds/blu-rays but that is besides the point. This PC is a powerhouse, but its NOT built for gaming. I want some help and advice to get it as close to effective as possible as a gaming rig. Below will be a shortened list of what we have to work with thus far.

- 28gb ECC RAM
- (x2) Intel X5667
- 850w PSU
- 800gb Intel SSD

Given that information, it also has 3 PCIe x16 slots. I heard that I could get a GTX 750 Ti to work as the GPU but I wanted to know if there are any creative gurus out there to help me with a few tips to help me make this work best.

For the time being, lets assume the budget will range from 500-1500.

The only catch is, regardless of new PC builds being way better, it has to stay this system.
