No offence but i really could not understand that post.....i hope it was for bigwayne only
No offence taken, it is really simple. You have a good CPU for what you want to do, you need a better motherboard. Once you have an overclocked dual core you can then evaluate or let us know what games are being bottlenecked by either the dual core or graphics.
You originally wanted a Quad with a minimum of what 3.2Ghz? Pretty specific so why? What will it do for your current games that 2 cores running at 3.8Ghz won't?
Why do you think you need to throw money at a new gaming rig when you are keeping DDR2-800 and your GTS-250? And AMD and Intel are bringing out new platforms next year?
It's only my opinion of course, you have at no point stated your complete system or the games you play. I just think you are reading too much into what people are telling you when a simple way to increase current performance is available while you decide on your future PC.
You are running a budget motherboard which will be holding back your complete system, for the price of a Friday night out you could upgrade it and overclock the pants out of it
