Budget Range: (e.g.: 500-600) Before / (After Rebates )
Monitor Resolution: 42in 1080p HDTV (1920x1080, 1280x1080, etc)
I currently have a system with the following specs:
mobo: stock mobo no overclock
CPU: Intel 2160e Dual-Core
GPU: 6870 Radeon
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800
HDD: 1TB 7k
PSU: Corsair 600w
I recently upgraded my psu and gpu on this rig (~250 total out of the budget). I know the 2160 overclocks really well so I'm not sure if I should spring for a new mobo to overclock it or for a new cpu+mobo entirely. I have about a 200 dollar budget for cpu+mobo and would like the best bang for buck (dont we all). Thanks for all the help!
