As the title says, can you guys give me recommendation for a mobo, cpu, and RAM combo? I have all other components for my comp. I will be using this comp mostly for surfing, music, and occasional gaming. I want to be able to play the upcoming Starcraft II with no problems. That's the only game I will be playing and occasionally CS 1.6. I don't want to spend too much so what's the best, budget, or bang for buck mobo, cpu, and RAM I can get that is reliable ? I want 4 gigs of RAM and will be using windows xp or vista ultimate.

THanks for your time!

Budget? Overclocking? Brand loyalty?

Sorry about 2 usernames, I was on my friend's comp and didn't remember my username so I made the one I used to create this thread.

Budget: $500
Brand: for CPU, Intel
Mobo: Anything good that is reliable and not too expensive
RAM: Same goes for mobo.

E7200
GA-EP45-DS3R
2X2GB DDR2-800MHZ

Up the cpu to E8400 if budget allows. Lower DS3R to DS3L for no RAID if it's not needed. Any ram is fine for stock.
