Hey wondering if anyone could give me some advice, need to finish up a build and I'd like to spend under 250$. I've been looking mostly at the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103649 for a cpu, and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128392 for a motherboard on a budget, but I'm not really sure how much of a hit I'll take gaming. If I have to I'll break down and buy an I-5, but if I can avoid having to spend 350$ that would be excellent.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Will place an order asap

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Basically gaming exclusive, doing some Fraps (WoW video editor) would be a nice bonus, and being able to play games coming out in the near future (SC 2, Diablo 3, etc)

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I have G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600, CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W,
Western Digital Caviar Blue, VisionTek Radeon HD 4870 512MB, NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, Windows Vista 64 bit home premium

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg

PARTS PREFERENCES: Will use anything

OVERCLOCKING: Yes SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1600x1200
