CPU/mobo Spec

[chimaera]

Hi All,

I'm in the market for a new mobo and CPU, it's got to be mATX as i'm saving money by using an existing case/PSU, budget for both is £120-150.

I don't care about overclocking so no point going there, Intel mobo's look to be a bit more expensive so the alternative is to get a more expensive AMD CPU with a cheaper mobo.

I was looking at the E5200 or a Phenom 8450? There's no need to blow the entire £150, whatever is best bang for buck is preferable.

Thanks

that's one of the combo's i've been looking at, i wasn't sure if it was worth spending more on a G45 mobo.

I terms of pure value i think that's tough to beat, just not sure if the GF7100 is any good.
