damn, well i have os, case, and a hard drive i want to keep, would like a nice graphics card though and a lot of ram, i really dunno what to choose!
 
the pci ports are kind of at a premium in my build, i have an x-fi soundcard ill be using and would really need to keep a pci spare for a wireless card when im away, but keep suggestions coming as you are all very helpful!
 
so much money! and i really want a more powerful card which is only gonna add to the price! how much faster at these i7s? ive looked at some benchmarks but they are a little confusing, is it like night and day between i7 and a standard intel quad
 
ok ive come up with this:
