That's why I spent $1400 building my current box a year and a half ago. I should be good for 5- 8 years with minor tweaks. I got 6 years out of my last one and could have gotten 2-3 more if MSI had updated the CPU chart sooner for my board that showed mine could take a dual core. That and ATI came o...

Looks like the 920 chip might be the best option for you, but I used to run ET and left for dead 1 ad 2 with a single core athlon 64 3200 without any issues.

If you have a socket am2+ you could run a Phenom II X4 955 quad core.(what I'm running by the way) There $140 right now, you could go higher, but it might not be worth the extra money.

If you see this soon Newegg has the Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Bare Drives for $99.99 with free shipping. I'm running 2 of these in raid 1 and they are fast.
