Hey guys! I am upgrading my mobo and cpu to better keep up with the current games. I am currently a student and this is the most i can spend on the two....seriously. I already have the EVGA 560 ti superclocked. and 16gb ddr3. So which mobo/cpu combo is the best in my price range. (I know the i5 2500k is amazing but I can't seem to combine it with a mobo and keep it under $300)
Thanks!!!

Ok, so what would be the best AMD/MOBO combo. (Im not interested in the FX processors)
