Any Upgrade Recommendations?

[yellowjacket123]

I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe, with Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, and 500W Silverstone Power Supply. I just bought a XFX HD 6870 Video Card, and I am considering upgrading my motherboard, chipset, RAM, and getting Windows 7. Are there any recommended upgrades (especially black friday deals)?

Not yet. Microcenter still has some 830 quad cores for $49.99, but that's in stores only. Newegg rarely has good combo deals. I have frys nearby, and hope they have one next friday.

I don't live near a microcenter store, and it appears most of their stuff is in-store only. Is there any online deals that you recommend?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah I wouldn't recommend a "830" for an upgrade. If your going to upgrade, upgrade to something modern, not something already obsolete.

Very few people live near a fry's anyways, so....

With or without a black friday deal, is there a motherboard and ram that anyone recommends for my setup with a potential i3 or i5 cpu?

Thanks for your help!
