I'm trying to upgrade my computer without replacing everything. 2 things that must be replaced are the motherboard and cpu. I'm looking for the best possible performance for the least money. My first thoughts weren't as cheap as i'd like but seem like sweet parts. I thought about trying to get an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 (open box board on newegg going for I think $140) and an AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6 core cpu. The AM3+ seems like a good socket for future upgrading and that board seems pretty beastly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a combo that might give me similar performance at a lower cost? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's links to the parts I mentioned if anyone wants to see any specs...
