although mainly I'll be using it for other things. I explain things a bit better here.
It's fairly urgent though. I'm keeping my screen (22" LCD) and power supplier (650W, nearly brand-new, can't seem to find any of the specs at the moment). Otherwise, this is what they're offering:
i5-750 LGA 1156 Package 2.66GHz processor
Intel Whitesburg DP55WB motherboard
Crusial (Micron) 4GB DDR-3 1333MHz (2x2GB) RAM (Reputable manufactorer? Do I realistically need more?)
Gainward BLISS Geoforce GTS-250, 512MB
Other parts are largely incidental. Also an option to upgrade to a Warrensburg DP55WG for approximately fifty Dollars, and a Gainward GTX-275, 896MB(possibly 1G? Not sure) for circa 200. The first I'll probably take. The graphics-card I'm rather unclear about, but I understand there will be new models coming-out soon, possibly effecting prices if nothing else. Similarly, I've been given to understand the i5 motherboards may have longer shelf-lives than the i7's? I could really use some advice in general, as well as specifically about the above components, or anything else I should keep in mind.
(My budget's fairly flexible at this point, but of-course I'd prefer to be cost-effective.)
