Additional Comments: Needs to be quiet, Needs to have good graphics performance, Is Haswell worth upgrading to? If not then I'd like some recommendations for a $800-$900 IB Gaming PC

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: After having two Xboxes I got tired of the inferior graphics, having to pay to play with my friends and 7 year olds threatening to hack my account or report me. Also I like the upgradability that the PC has.
