Hi guys! I have a core 2 duo E7400 with 4gb ram, and i think its time i upgrade a bit what i have. I mostly play games with my pc, but i do not demand having the best graphics available in the market, mostly because i'm not willing to spend a lot of money with it.
After gathering info on what's available (and the price ofc...) i decided i'll either go with an i3 2100 or an i5 2400. The reason i don't consider the ever so popular i5 2500k is because i won't be doing any overclock to the cpu, hence i don't need to spend the extra money. My main doubt is the motherboard...i found this one and as far as i can tell its a good cheap mobo.

AsRock H61iCAFE

It has usb 3.0 and sata 3, supports up to 32gb ram with four slots for it and i can get it by 72€. Is there any better option for me considering the cpu i wanna get? One more thing, i have a HD 5850 and i have no intentions of getting another card or getting it crossfired. One is enough for me!:)

Want to say thanks in advance to anyone who can give me good advice!^^
