I went with 1366 just because that's how the pre-built site configured it up, and I don't know much about CPUs, so I just went w/ their suggestion. I've upgraded the 40G SSD to 120G in my projected build. I'll look into dialing down the CPU if the one I picked is overkill. I read on Toms Hardware that the higher end Vid cards are currently limited by the CPU capacity though in terms of frame rate, so was thinking a stronger CPU would be of benefit. Not so?
