JSL, I just built a new pc using the i5 560 LGA 1156 processor (2.8GB) and I like it. Like you I'm running a weak GFX card.... Zotac 880GT 1GB DDR3. CompUSA has a 9800GT 1GB card for 120 but final price is 99.00. And use DDR3 RAM that 1600 or higher. Price for 4GBs is reasonable.
I'd like to recommend you build a pc with a Cooler Master MId Tower Case and an HD50 water cooler unit. The only thing I can hear is the top fan running, but it's still quieter than any other computer I've ever built or bought.
