in a land called griffindor

Thanks everyone, this has been very helpful. I think I might save up and get the i5 to future proof my system a little more.

Correct, I would not need a monitor, I have two 24 inch displays (1080p max on both). How much of an upgrade would the i3 be from a Core 2 Duo 6320? And is that a quad core?

$350-400. For now I'm carrying over my 9800 GT until I can save up for a video card.

I'm finally upgrading from this Dell, but due to money constraints, I'm trying to go for as much performance as possible. I'm going to use the DVD drives and HDDs from this Dell as well as the video card. So really what I want to know is...

Who has the better mid range CPUs? Intel or AMD? Really all I need is:

New case/PSU (I'd like eventually to get a GTX 570)

New motherboard and RAM

I'll upgrade the video card later, but my e6320 is really slowing me down. Who can build a mid range PC for the best price?

If your problem is still occuring, all you have to do is enable UpNp via your router. That will open up ports as needed automatically for EVERY device on your network.

It's also awesome that Red Orchestra 2 is being made by a dev of about 20 people.

1 megabyte? Not sure if overlocking will help that at all...:P

Animal Crossing is hilarious, IMO.

Hell, I'd be happy with one 4890. I think you're good for awhile :P
