not much juice for the money tbh. i would:

1. not buy Office, but download OpenOffice for free instead.

2. Don't talk about abusing MSDNAA please, unless you want to get a ban?

Dunehunter

3. use the saved money to spend on beefier components . id at least go for an intel i5 processor and a better video card.

i cant tell if AMD are more bang for the buck atm as ive never used any of their products, but do some research

Personally i would kinda go for the 5770 since it has DX11 and is kinda better than your card also has 512MB more RAM, also it uses less electricity and its only 10 dollar more expensive i think.
