Wish I could buy them three with $600.

Not going for an i5 for budget reasons?

Also, your old GPU isn't *that* bad, it's certainly much newer than your Pentium D. I'm surprised you can play half the games you do on that thing.

Not only is the i5 twice as much but the motherboards are more expensive too so it really broke my budget. I wanted to but the Phenom II is just so much cheaper. As for the GPU, I bought it on the cheap last year so its not that old.

Yeah I probably overspent on my current i5 rig, but I'm also happy that it's future proof for a while.

I gotta get a decent GPU (and a case that will fit a decent GPU comfortably). My trusty 9800 GTX+ got demolished by the Witcher 2.

That's a nice upgrade there, Chief.

My Hewlett-Crapard began underperforming about 3 months after I got (I swear I'm never buying a factory made piece of garbage again) and that was even after I turned off all the bells and whistles and all non essential services.

With that set-up you'll be rocking it out in style now. 'Grats.
