What would you do with 3-400 bucks? It's not about money, I just don't want to waste something that I will never put to full use.

Then just don't spend quite so much on the video card. Or if you're worried about not playing games to make it worth the purchase, just rely on the onboard video card and leave room for a PCIe card to be purchased later for gaming.

Get a good mobo with all connections you'll need for the next 4 years. Get a cheap power supply <=500W. Get 8GB of cheap RAM. Decent HD.

That's versatile enough to serve whatever purpose you want. Including games.

Yes.

I just checked I5 desktops with what Clay suggested. I would end up wasting the power (thanks anyway, Clay).

When I was in my early 20's I spent 3K+ on my computer gaming gear. Don't get old, don't run your own business, and don't have kids if you love to game.
