Game a bit but not much. Want the best bang for buck. Definitely want Intel.

What about a good CPU, mobo that can take DDR3 plus a cheap PCIe card for now?

Cheers

Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - OEM [BV80605001911AP]

Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-P55M-UD2]

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel (OCZ3P13334GK) [OCZ3P13334GK]

The above 3 good?

If so, cheapest graphics card i could get away with that would give me same features as the best onboard ones? Don't want to spend too much on a card at the mo.

Also, would the above setup be better / quicker than an AMD Tri 720 CPU?
