The two things that you will want to upgrade in the future are the motherboard and the graphics card.

yeah, spend a little more on the mobo if your getting a 3570

If you can not spend extra money and all you do is gaming and on the web then go with a AMD CPU very good per dollar to proformance ratio. They are right you need have a better motherboard for the 3570 and a GPU will need to be better the 6870 beats the 7770 in just about every thing http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/536?vs=540. But this is all up to you.

Ahh cool thanks, I don't really understand what to look for to see bottlenecking and that sort of thing.
