Hi guys.
I currently have a G31M-ES2L, E8400 @ 3ghz, 4gb DDR2 ram and ATI HD 6850. I recently bought BF3 which is really bringing my (weak) rig to its knees.
I have decided it's time to move on, so I'm considering buying an i5-2500k and get a PROPER motherboard this time. My current MB can't overclock at all since it has this crazy idea that it needs to increase the PCIE frequency and I don't feel like ruining my GPU.
What MB would be the most cost effective (and cheap pl0x) for the i5-2500k? The budget is about $100-120. I live in Denmark so keep in mind that everything costs at least $20 more than in other countries Just ignore the budget for now - it's really hard to tell what it's gonna cost in DK.
Thanks.
EDIT: I have an Antec 450w PSU, which I believe is still very good (hasn't degraded much). I'm also gonna buy some DDR3 ram.
EDIT 2: I have been searching etc but I haven't really been able to find a definitive answer.
