      First off, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section to be posting in, yet I can't find any other area more suitable.

      Go with a higher clocking AMD quad core in my opinion, the money you save will allow you to upgrade your power supply to 1100 watts and go for A-data gaming series ram and liquid cooling. I also would suggest an ATI DDR5 5700 series or higher 1GB, and go for a USB 3.0 mobo while you're at it.

      That's powerful enough to run any game coming out any time soon.

      well, if you wanted to be totally in date you could get a DX11 card form amd, also most people will NEVER utilize hyperthreading and that is what socket(1366) is all about, way overkill unless ur running 30 bots or encoding pure HD video all day long.

      you could save alot of money going with socket 1156 with i5 750(or other) and oc it, if its just for games(and basically anything else you wanna do)

      naturally i suggest intel cuz thats how i roll but there are alot of amd fanboys here that will tell you otherwise, but when it gets down to it they both make great cpu's

      Wait for the new nVidia cards that support DX11 they are kick ass!!!

      Otherwise it looks imba and you wont have any issues.
      But with your current setup your GPU is what lets you down.
