Gaming rig advice.

[MacHooper]

Hey I am looking to build my first gaming rig and I'm on a tight budget, I have an AM2 motherboard already, would it be a good idea to save some money and get a phenom quad core and overclock it rather than purchase a new motherboard and processor?

Thanks in advance Mac

The cheapest upgrade is a new CPU. The best upgrade is to buy a new mobo and CPU.
