You have a decent case and power suppy so no need to change that. Anyways this is what I came up with that's in your price range. Also that Xigmetak heatsink includes the LGA 1366 bracket with it.

but im a gamer i mostly use big resolutions like 1900x1000 i will need a gpu that can support bit resolutions with full AA, so i dont know if a 4870 x2 would be better than that 285 SC edition.

a 4870x2 is like one of the best cards out there regardless tho.

Using an AMD x2 is gonna bottleneck just about any GPU you pick thats better then a 4870 1gb. So it doesnt make much of a difference.

But longevity/future possibilities a 4870x2 is better then a 285 (unless you plan on gettin an i7) simply cuz SLI isnt stable unless on a x58 mobo. Crossfire is pretty great no matter what mobo so long as its Crossfire capable.
 


actually its very easy to argue with .

Ci7 isnt showing any advantages over a Pll 940 if you are gaming and have only a single gfx card . Ci7 is mostly slower than Pll in that situation .

Going Pll means
cheaper cpu
cheaper memory
cheaper mb


and a whole heap of cash left over for a stronger gfx card


and higher fps
