Default Re: Help me build a new system

With the hard drives already taken care of, I think you can go with a newer gen than LGA1366.

Quad core i7 LGA1150 plus motherboard can be done for $400-500, depending on the speed you want. From there you have another $500-600 to spend on RAM, graphics card, case, PSU. I think that's very doable if you go for a graphics card that is good for PT but not in the past few generations of "gaming" cards.
