Hey guys, so I'm currently in the process of upgrading my 6-year old tower (yeah it's realllllly old)
I recently upgraded my video card to a Radeon HD 6770, and i'm looking to Upgrade my mobo/CPU/RAM:
I am a broke college student on a bit of a budget, and I'd be using it primarily for Solidworks and a bit of gaming (diablo 3 primarily, probably pick up another title or two soon.)
I have about ~250 to spend, and this is what I came up with:
Sandy bridge i3-2100:

GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3V LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

8GB G.Skills DDR3 1600

Thoughts?
