I've got a xfx hd 6670 1gb vid card, a spare 585w power supply that i might not reuse, due to it being old and noname and its only got 15A on the +12v rail lol, and ive got 6gb of 1333 ram. I want to grab a NICE motherboard/cpu/case combo that i can upgrade into later, and the bottlenecking due to the old gfx is fine for now. With a pricerange of +/-450$ what builds you can recommend
main focus = gaming and performance-per-dollar

Don't expect to play modern games at more than low settings until you replace the GPU, but this is a very good base to start from. Included proper dual channel RAM.
