Hey guys I want to spend about $450 on a new motherboard, cpu, and ram. Ill factor in the PSU to handle the load of that and my video card on my own time. Ok so I have asus P5N 32 SLI Deluxe with a conroe core 2 duo E6600 @ 2.4 ghz and a 560 gtx (pci express 2.0 running on a pci express 1.0 mobo) and basicly my cpu is bottlenecking all my games. I ran some benchmarks and my gpu is scoring nearly 6-7x higher in everything compared to the cpu which isnt much of a surprise. So now my question is, and i would like to order the parts from newegg.com or another trusted site or just go to frys since theres one close to me and if it isnt much more ill just go there and get em. So for $425-$475 which motherboard/cpu/ram combo would you recommend? The ones I came up with on newegg.com are as follows
ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233254
motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837
cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
Those three will be replacing my asus p5n sli deluxe mobo, ddr2 800 ram, and e6600 core 2 duo @ 2.4ghz and will cost me $425 + shipping. My question is what would you get if you would get some different and why? Again I have not built a computer in years so any information regarding any new technology thats came up in the last couple of years would help. PS I like the 3570k because it can be overclocked. Thanks for reading and your opinions and comments will be appreciated!
