Well since I didn't pay attention to size of the card I am going to gut an old system I have and build a cheap box around this 260GTX 216 Super Clocked EVGA.

But what is the fastest, cheapest, newest, upgradable in the future, CPU and MB combo to go with?

I was leaning at a Intel 8400 or 8500, not sure about the i7 stuff and its memory cost diff.

I am thinking AMD with this Video card is not the best, so I am looking at Intel with a nVidia chipset MB.

What are your thought's anyone?

I have a case, but need PS, CPU & MB, Ram, Optical drive, and Hard Drive too. basically a new build for $600 if I can get all this after what I have paid for the Video card already which was $212 with CoD5 thrown in.

Thanks for the help guys.
