Wow, are you not bottlenecking like mad on that GPU? Anyways, I'm not even going to bother posting my present one...It's solidly low-end. But I've been saving for like 6 months to buy one, and I'm getting it sometime in February. Should look something like this: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 nVidia 8800GTS (of what make, depends on what's cheapest) 2Gig DDR2 800 (wanted Corsair, probably going to go with Mushkin though (cheaper)) Asus P5b Motherboard (or maybe a 650i, not sure) OCZ Gamexstream 600w Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250gb SATA harddrive Xfi-xtrememusic sound card Antec Sonata II case 19 inch CRT monitor (extremely hard to find these days <.< ) Maybe need to take that as a hint (btw, 17 inch LCD would be more screen, and a lot easier on the eyes... none of the new LCD's have ghosting issues like the old ones :))... and the E6600 is a great choice for price/speed, might want to take the into consideration... I love mine. Its the only processor I've ever had that can actually keep up with how fast I move around the screen, its awesome.
