i would go with the 3 gigahertz version of the processor, a slightly slower GPU, and try to get 6 gigs of ram. if you already have a 9400 gt i would get another and SLI it. then you have at least as much graphics muscle, a awesome processor 200 megahertz is only about a 5% loss in speed, and it is less because L1 and L2 cache will stay the same. get a 250 gig hard drive for OS and programs, drop your 400 gig one from your old computer in. thats what i would do.
another thing to consider is that with 140 watts needed for your processor (with a good safety margin) and another 200+ for you GPU, you are looking at a 450+ watt PSU. in my experience if you can keep the system under 450 watts its a lot easier to find good quality but cheap power supplies. anything more and it gets into "high end" components and costs a lot. -
Well, you have a 9400GT so that's pretty normal. You don't need more than 100 fps. Besides, your monitor only outputs 60 anyway.
I want to record alot of in-game stuff + replays that's the only reason
But no worries I found a sick nasty PC @ kijiji lol. -

since the number is bigger
Are you serious? Are you just trolling? Number meanas NOTHING.
You can't compared AMD & nVidia cards by their numbering scheme, as their chip/card architectures are completely different. You also can't also with nVidia cards.
Ex: 9800GT vs 8800GT. They are BOTH essentiallly the SAME card, but the 9800GT has minor chages & a updated BIOS.
Ex: AMD Radeon HD 5770 = Radoen HD 6770. The 6770 has a "higher" number but it performs the same, again like the nVidia 9800GT, BIOS flashed.
GTX 295 GT 440. The GTX is a older card, but will destroy...nuke the GT440 as the GT 440 is a mainstream, mid-low range card, while the GTX 295 is a dual-CPU enthusiast, gaming card.
The 9400GT is the slowest card from the GeForce 9000 series...the newer integrated graphics chips can even outperform it. The Radeon HD 5670 is not only faster (~3X-4X better), it's also much newer & features better technology (like GDDR5 VRAM, DX11, multiple display support, etc).
