You may need DDR3 memory as well. $100 - memory prices are going up.

A 256/GB SSD would be nice as well -$150- they're getting cheaper

Just quick suggestions to get you started but I'd probably look for an I5 processor with a K after it for over clocking.

lol, and the snowballing begins! I told myself I would never build a new PC without an SSD system drive so I can justify that much for sure.

What's the attraction to the processor with the "K"? And what does it mean that it's unlocked? Is that purely for overclocking? Funny thing is, the last 2 systems I assembled I had every intention of overclocking at some point.....never did.

ME seems to have some bundles MOBO/CPU packages too, are these MSI boards any good?
