Made significant changes since I had posted, doubled my budget. Questions now are: Is the CPU adequate for the video card Is the motherboard good enough/can I get a cheaper alternative that does what I need Considering I won't be planning to overclock anything, is the included fans/heatsink adequate on the CPU and Case
