What about Linux like Ubuntu?

It will do Internet, Office, Media quite well.

yea but I also want to be able to play games on this system. I'm going to be looking for a DX 11 Video card to put on this computer for a temporary solution and my 7900GTX SLI ill put up until I can afford to rebuild an i7.

I'm thinking one of these

GTS450/GTX550 Ti/HD6770 GDDR5

that way I can at least play some games

$30 to 40 and you might be able to barely get a GTX480 or a GTX580 if you are lucky, there are plenty of AMD cards in the same range price wise that are decent like a 6950 ect. Just have to get lucky but throwing in an extra 10 will certainly help.
