Thinking you can't build a computer is no excuse because putting a computer together is both easy and rewarding. Besides, if you're not a dumb consumer, you'd have already compared different components and know what you're buying. Now you can save 100%, buy GOOD parts because Dell and others use crap parts, and not feel like a complete tool.

You have a gtx 760, so maybe wait a generation or two and grab some ol' 500 dollar vid card and BLAM you're set for another two years until games actually take strides in cpu core performance software.

not really worth doing yet, huh

my problem is I made the mistake of getting a 120hz monitor (despite what the speccy output says, this is 120hz)

it looks great on poo poo that runs on a toaster like TF2, but ffxiv and other stuff it isn't so hot jumping between 70 and 100 (in fact it's rather more irritating to my eyes than you'd think)

Well, it's like this. The GTX 780 TI has almost twice the performance as your 760 and yet your 760 holds like the top spot in terms of performance for the price.
