Zotac GTX 260 2 896MB for around 10k rite....y dont u go for that??

AMD is a better choice in this range.

So as long you are not into heavy duty encoding and stuff better sticking with AMD.

u can get an X3 720 with a 780G mobo like the gigabte one for 7k + 4.5k
then a GTX 260 for 10.5k

true. GTX260 for 1k more is much better than GTS250.

IF you want to overclock a lot, go for E5200. AMD 7750BE maxes out at 3.2GHz without volt increase and whatever you do, it won't be stable beyond 3.4GHz.

On the other hand, E5200 can go to 4GHz with some volt modding.

get the X3 720 + 780G rig with GTS260 Core 216.
