Thanks for the reply. Is an AMD rig a better bang for the buck? I used to be a lot more up on the hardware. I used to have a computer business where I did a lot of system building. I was forced to close it when I suffered my traumatic brain injury. So I don't have the distribution channels I used to have. Which sucks right now. So now I am trying to play catch up on the latest hardware.
Come on people I need more suggestions. I value your opinions.

I have an Nvidia GTX 285 video card that is pretty nice. Although the latest 4xx series probably blows it away at the same price. I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 with 6GB RAM. I am planning on upping the RAM to 12GB soon.

If I were to piece something up. What is the preferences on MB, CPU, Video, etc. Today? I currently have a core 2 Duo E6300 @1.86 on an Asus P5Q Deluxe, 4GB DDR2 and a Radeon 1600 vid. I know its dinosaur crap from around 2007 before my brain injury. I am recovered enough to start playing some games again, etc. Should I upgrade the proc, and vid on my existing setup which is running fine, or ditch it and start new again. If I start over what is the collectives recommendations? Price and performance are important here. I do some gaming, and video stuff etc. -Anthony aka Tony
