I am building a gaming computer, and I have a used motherboard (really good condition) it's an asus p6t Deluxe v2. I got it when I lived in Japan, so it's a Japanese model, I don't know if that makes a difference, but i wanted to know if I should get an i7 off amazon used for around the same price as the fx-4350, or if I should just get a new motherboard and processor. I'm not super rich, so I can't afford a high end cpu, I figured if I get a used cpu, I can put the mobo money into a better gpu. What do you guys think? Should I get an old i7, or a newer 4350?

Edit: I'm not sure which motherboard to get, I would only have about $100 to put towards one, if you think the 4350 what kind of motherboard should I get? Or just go with an i7-970 or something

Just a check. You have an old LGA 1366 motherboard, and have money for FX4350 or used LGA1366 i7? What motherboard would you use for 4350?

The i7 will be significantly more powerful for gaming and pretty much anything else.
