Welcome capo,

Would you take a few minutes to edit your post and follow the format in my sig. Helps us out alot knowing whats best to suggest for you.

Proximon,

Awesome! Thank you for your suggestions. I however am looking only at procuring CPU. Have 22" Acer monitor 5ms response but not 1080 capable. In the future I would like to procure a new LCD (and most likey VGA) when DX 11 is rmore readily available. Till then, I may have to wait unless a smokin deal comes along.

$740 spent so far

So I now have $260 left. I suppose I will need a Graphics card since I prefer not to use my old one (ATI HD3850 I think 512MB PCIE). I also need a HDD. I was looking at the Spinpoint 3 and the benchmarks were amazing for the price. How does my current set up look so far? Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!
