I am looking for a good Mobo and CPU to upgrade my computer with. I am looking to spend $400 at the most, but I rather only pay $300ish. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I will be using it for gaming and I have a 550W PSU and a GTX 470

Thanks

Well I was looking at getting the 2500k, but all the motherboards I found were $150+, unless I wanted a H67, but I heard you can't overlock them. So, I would be spending $400+, which I don't want to do.

So, I was looking for a bit cheaper alternative, but maybe it is worth it to spend the extra money now or wait for a good combo deal.
