i'd start with http://www.logicalincrements.com to see what range you are in.
what are you doing with it? are you playing newer games or editing videos... or just the same as everyone else just for tribe and pron?
very curious to see how intels new anniversary edition dualcore g3258 stands up at only $75. if it's any good with its overclock, it will knock most i3's and some i5's out.

uncle sam hookin ya up lolz. another important factor you'll want some gaming headphones. and fine tune your tribe sound settings. here are some sounds I use for my 1.3 config. I know you're a 1.3 guy, but incase you change your mind and use 1.4 hopefully someone will edit my sounds 4 me
