Right, I have been a part of the Master Race for about 6 months now and for at least one (the most recent month) I have been unable to use my computer for gaming.
The rig I have at the moment is really bad and massively bottle necked the EVGA GTX 560 that I had gifted to me from a fellow member of this sub. Unfortunately the 560 died, so I sent it off to get RMA'd by EVGA and they sent me back a 660 instead (Good Guy EVGA, am I right?).
Well the computer at the moment cannot actually use the 660 that's how bad it is, so my question is do I go for this new rig

Or do I use buy all the parts apart from the motherboard and processor, get a reasonably cheap but semi-good AMD cpu and motherboard and then buy the Intel stuff later on. I am posing this question as I am fed up with having to turn to my Xbox for gaming and really want to just be able to play on the PC again.
Thanks for any help in advance.
