Whats a good GPU I can go with?
Doesn't have to be a VGA, I have that part taken care of.

I'm still going with this kit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1171046

I don't need 2GB of Vram btw, a GB will do.

But that CPU is so terrible, I'm not sure if there will be a bottleneck with a good card :/

[Alyx Vance]

I don't need anything like that, also I'm not worried about a little bottlenecking.
The CPU I can upgrade later anyway, I'm not worried about it right now.

[Port]

yes

Any of you guys know anything about Turbo Boost? From what I understand it's kind of like overclocking, it's available in some Intel processors.

I have a Quad-core Intel i5-2310 processor. It gets 2.9Ghz, but with Turbo Boost it's supposed to go up to 3.2.

I know nothing about doing this, apart from the fact that I have to enable it through my motherboard's BIOS menu. So I assume that means it will always be on? Could this cause overheating? Any of you use this before? What should I know before using it?

For my mobo there is a little switch in the corner of it that enables my i7-2600 to go up to like 4.1GHz. I don't know about yours though. There's probably a BIOS switch too. And yes it can cause overheating, so a stock cooler may not cut it (thats why I have a 212 Cooler Master :>>>).

Ensure your BIOS is up-to-date and it should work flawlessly, the 83xx series is on the CPU support list.

Looks like 750, a 6 doesn't have the blocky top.
