natty is always a sure thang but if im gonna drop 1500 on video cards i want to get the most out of it ya know..do not look to replace or upgrade fer like 5 years unless it breaks.

been torn on what to do tho

I think you're overspending on video cards if you're spending $1500. That's excessive even for a hardcore gamer who actually plays games that came out recently.

Last time I built a computer the top video card price was 350 dollar range, 2 cores was top of the line CPU and SSD's were far 2 expensive. No reason for you still having a CRT monitor tho can get a 17 inch flat screen for like 50 bucks bro!

I always get super excited when i start planning out a build. I always hate to see 2-3 grand being spent on something that will be worth half in 6 months. I feel like there are a lot of new and fun games on the horizon and i need to be ready !

I just don't use my pc for enough gaming to necessitate that sort of system. I would love to have one! but even with a topend machine it would still game like crap because i live in the sticks and my internet is awful.

I've been using the same vid card for the past 4+ years and still run new gen games fine. If you hesitate about technology upgrades, you'd never actually buy anything because the next big thing is always around the corner. Just the nature of the beast.

Typically you won't need to spend nearly that much money on a GPU if you're just using the machine for gaming. Probably cheaper to wait til the newer model comes out and then buy the ones you're looking at now.
