    I just quoted this system to another guy, which came out to about $920. That right there is sort of the sweet spot for price/performance. If you're willing to spend that much, I'd take that build, throw in an SSD (Change HDD from Black model to Blue model), and maybe look at a 670.

    However, I currently use a lower card than that (GeForce 660) and with that CPU, I can run 25mans at effectively 60fps stable on Ultra.

    This. 100 times this. I spent in that neighborhood and my computer is still kicking. It is due for some upgrades but it's been a few years since it was pieced together. The suggestion I have is that you read the reviews for the components your looking at and never be afraid to ask anyone here for recommendations or advice. Also keep cooling in mind.

    Now you're just dangling the carrot!

    Thanks for the help though.
