Is it possible?

Very well said! I plan on assembling a new rig in the near future and currently I'm looking at a $1500 budget. I build my rigs to at least allow for 2 OS and 2 GPU upgrades in a 4 year life span. My current E6700 build just rolled over 6 fairly worry free years on the original OS install ... :9:

I have a machine in that series (a couple of iterations earlier) and it's still going strong. That's a good architecture. I built an i7 not too long ago, because I wanted a high end gaming rig, but that Core2 can still handle my day to day chores easily.
