If you're not editing video, get a 2500K. Heres a combo if you don't too intensive gaming: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?I...

Though for something more, heres one with a GTX560Ti, should max out 1080p for the most part.

You can get a nice 6950 with a nice cooler for ~$30 more.

*edit* Thanks for the reply, btw :) .

How much do you think I would notice the 6950 vs what you have on there?
Would it be worth it? I mean, it's only $30...

I'm assuming you'd recommend your custom build over the pre-built combo from NewEgg?

the 6950 would only be a 5% better in average, but more if you crossfire. It is an Asus model with a nice cooler, so noise and temps should be better.

What games do you play though?

WoW, Starcraft, primarily.

I'm looking to play some decent games, not like Crysis.

Do I need any cooling units?

Sorry for all the questions, this will just be my first custom built unit.
