Switch out your ram
On that AMD rig 1600 cl6 performs the best. Anything above that returns are very small. The intel build 4x2gb @2k cl9 or higher bandwith would work out better. Don't bother switching out your display, just add AA. |

So you want to choose between the 2 configurations? i5-2500K but try to squeeze the 6950 and make that 2GB.

I say go intel but get a 2600k or better. Other than that I think you're okay.

go with intel i5 2500k and keep HD6950,,, personally i would try to get an even better video card, but at high settings with 1680X1050 resolution HD6950 will be great

2500K + Z68 + 6950 = recipe for success.
