Sorry my subscription ran out, and i couldn't reply again, until i renewed. Weird. Anyway, I ended up going with an AMD 6100 FX unlocked processor with 8gb RAM and just a simple crap video card to get me to my next big payday. Everything works great, except the video card only has 1GB so that slows it down and keeps me from getting any graphics higher than the lowest settings. At least it runs tho, without stuttering too. THx for the advice!
