I don't have an unlimited budget. I was actually thinking of spending 300 on a 5850 gpu and corsair tx 750 psu for now till prices on everything else drops and some definite answers as to what hardware works best. Would like to hear from as many people as possible, this will be my first build and I really need some advice

Don't upgrade anything until this game is finished, at the moment it's like throwing money down a black hole. It's still very unoptimized but it's of course just my opinion.
