Good evening everyone!

I am having some problems with my computer and I think it is time to start upgrading. The first step I want to try out is a MOBO / CPU combo.

Price - 350-400

The only qualifications that I know of would be that I want to be DD3 compatible and I have a ASUS ENGTX460 video card ready to use.

I have heard that intel is currently in the lead for CPUs, but this is just word of mouth I have no tests to back anything so I appreciate some kind of reasoning behind the choice if possible.


Thank you very much for reading and hopefully answering my post.
