Very well it's your choice. Too bad you can't get a GTX 550 TI, that would set you about $20 over budget even for the cheapest one.

Actually, I might be able to.
I'm trying save up $30 for that G.Skill RAM.
If I can, then I'll get either ASUS's or EVGA's 550 ti.
Also, Nvidia is usually much better at forcing AA.

That depends on how you look at it....a lot has changed over the years. I remember back when only ati cards could do HDR + MSAA at the same time and generally had better AA support from the drivers. It took nvidia another year but eventually they added HDR + MSAA support as well to there cards with new drivers. For a few years afterwards most games either had AA in-game that worked with both brands or both brands could force AA through the control panel. Some games could only have AA forced on ati cards and some games could only have AA forced on nvidia cards, generally nvidia had a larger list of games that it could force driver AA for but not by much. These games were rare. Over the years games that required driver control panel AA became more and more common and nvidia did a better job keeping up but there were still a few games here and there that could only have AA forced on ati cards. ATI took the lead though with the 5000 series where the massively improved there AA support and added MLAA, which works with just about anything. Of course a year later nvidia now has there own post-processing AA alternative, FXAA. So we've basically reached the point where you can get decent AA on pretty much any game from either brand. I don't think your argument applies anymore.
Are you familiar with nvidia inspector?

I started this about half a year ago, got bored and stopped about 2 days into it, didn't get very far but one of these days I'll get around to finishing it. Basically become familiar with nvidia inspector and it will teach you what you need to know about AA.

Alright, but still...
Is it at all possible to overclock the turbo core on an i5 with an h61 motherboard?
How would I do it?

No. By the way it's called turbo boost.

Well that's just great.
Well, at least I can lock cores to threads or something in Dolphin.
(Which should cause the turbo to kick in.)
