Motherboard or SSD

[brpeden82]

Budget $120
I currently have a

AMD Phenom II X4 955
Asrock M3A770DE
4GB DDR3 1333
500GB Samsung F3
HD6950 1GB
Seasonic 520W

Would it be better to buy Asrock 870 Extreme for better overcloking for 89.99
or suggest a better motherboard in my range

orr buy OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) for 114.99

1. keep saving
2. wait 2 months when bulldozer comes out *you'll be saving during this period *
3.????????
4.Profit. A.K.A buy both mobo along with SSD,
will be cheaper since sandforce is releasing something that increases read/write times on SSD's to 350mb/s +

The SSD will not effect your overclocking at all so if that is what you are after then dont worry about it.

Asrock from what i have heard has been putting out some great products as of late. I personally have never gotten into them so I can not recommend what I myself have not tested (just a policy of mine).

Here is a nice mobo in your price range from asus
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131668
has some nice features like usb 3.0, core unlocker, sata 6gb/s, etc. its 100$ with rebate not sure on shipping though.

Now if you want to overclock I recommend getting an after market cpu cooler dont use the stock ones they are crap. (most of the time) Here is a nice highly rated one that is fairly cheap.

This is the cpu cooler I personally use, I bought open box because there is not usually much wrong with cpu coolers they are fairly brick like unless some one cracks a heat pipe or some thing here is the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185142R&cm_re=scythe-_-35-185-142R-_-Product

If you dont feel comfortable buying open box then you can get it for just 40$ brand new. Either way it is a cpu cooler that many overclockers use. Hope this all helps
