... I don't really plan on doing much in the way of "hardcore gaming" but I'd like a system that can actually keep up. I'm not really interested in non-Intel processors, and am not really interested in going ATI again either.
If the system can do it reliably, I may consider overclocking it. I'm also going to add another 2g of RAM in the near future.
How does this look in terms of a "bargain" build which still has some decent performance?
