I am now aware of my sins as far as the $73 video card go. Any suggestions?
Right now im looking at the Asus GTX650-E-2GD5 but let me knnow if I should go even bigger. Also looking to change out that motherboard and am being told that 2.9 GHz on the CPU isn't enough, especially for what im already paying. So any similar motherboards could help me out

This is in the wrong forum, get it moved to general hardware and fill out the sticky questions. We need to know your budget/usage needs....etc before anyone can advise you on what to buy.
