So you would redistribute the $215 I spent on the CPU+mobo on those items to squeeze in a dedicated GPU? My only question is if that system would have a higher ceiling than the one I purchase after I use the rebate money on a 6670. Would you have made any other changes?

Undoubtedly a better performer, but also $50 more expensive. Also, it's best combo discount on a mobo is $18, compared to the $40 discount received for the 3780K + UD4H. If you split the discount then the 3780K was conceivably $60 cheaper since the aforementioned motherboard was significantly...

I'd also like to add that I am willing* to use the integrated graphics from either Sandy Bridge or Llano as a placeholder for a couple of months (tax season!) if its worth it to invest that money into the motherboard, processor, memory, or even an SSD. Actually, I'd be fine with a 6_GB or 12_GB...

Sorry for the delay in posting, things have been pretty hectic (even more so without this computer, doh). Some gaming for me is defined as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Civilization, for the most part. The newest game I own is Skyrim and I'd like to play it on relatively high settings with a...

Good evening all. I have a typically low college student budget for this computer and would like to make an order tonight or tomorrow morning as I need it asap. It will serve a multimedia purpose (movies, music, some gaming) when I'm not busy with school but I know I cannot fit all my wants...
