Hey guys, thanks for the help in the last few posts. so here is my big question that i want to know. i know that the current bottle neck in my system is my cpu. now from what im told i need to not only upgrade my cpu, but my mobo as well. i would like if possible to see the best mobo and cpu combination for under $300, under $250 if possible, and it has to be AMD based, as intel and me do not mix well together [lets just say i easily break those intel cpus with my games and other programs] i currently have a amd phenom II x4 970 black edition and it works preety well, but im starting to notice major lag and issues with some of my games and other programs, and i think its time to upgrade. so whatever you guys suggest, ill be more than happy to take them. also while not required, but prefered, i would like to be able to walk into a store to pick these up, like frys or best buy. anyways guys thanks in advance for all your suggestions. the better the combo for less price the better.
oh and im not really looking forward to over clocking the system even though i have liquid cooling, but if i need to in order to save some money then i guess i can do that. anyways heres my current system specs below
