Pezcore thats just what i need,thanks for the quick reply.

 

[cody4721]

thanks tavo nova,gonna get that mobo of yours

 

[Pezcore27]

I tried to work in that mobo, but that ment downgrading the processor without going over your budget. I felt that the H67 board with the stronger processor would provide you better gaming in BF3, especially in any multiplayer maps where the stronger processor will help.
