ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Basically I'm looking for almost a full system upgrade here with GPU being the most important part for me. I apologize for not knowing some of my current exact specs for all of my components right now, but I'm at work and they are only there so you can see where my desktop is currently at. Below is the current setup I'm considering, sans the MOBO, which is over budget right now. I have no brand preferences, nor do I have an Nvidia/AMD/Intel preference.
