Well, I'm pretty much open to anything as far as the processor, I'm looking to get a mid-level video card in regards to power, I'm willing to spend what it takes to have a decent rig.

Processor, E6600-E6700 is good. Also if you want to wait till later the quad core version Q6600 will drop to $230.
Video card i'd recommend a 8800GTS 640MB straight up

Basically what he said, since the budget seems to be unlimited lol.

Thanks for the replies. I have one question though, will the dual cores work in the board that I have, I'm not entirely sure it will.

I haven't built a computer in a long time, so I'm just trying to figure out how not to throw away money on stuff that doesn't work. And yeah, it's a real computer, comes with it's own bookbag.:)
