Hello everyone, currently debating on a new motherboard and cpu so i thought id ask for your opinions :)

Currently got a Gigabyte motherboard *GA-M55PLUS-S3G rev a2*
Dual Core AMD, 4200 @ 2.2Ghz

I've got everything else thats good, well good enough Lol. A 600w OcZ PSU, 2GB ram and one BFG 8800GTX.

In another thread i made abit back someone recommended a P35 Motherboard + Quad Core ? .. I dont really know a great deal about motherboards + CPU's, hense this post on someone to help me :) :D

If you could post up some recommendations that would be great, Budget - Not too sure, 200-300 ?

Thanks :D
 
Its Geil low latency DDR2 Ram ... Motherboard socket is 940 :)

Mainly use it for games, but also applications like Sony Vegas etc
 
Would this be a noticable difference to what i have already ? .. I have some issues with my current setup concerning FPS, as its being bottlenecked by my CPU you see. Thats why i want to get the most from my 8800GTX :D

Thanks for the help too ! :)

**I tried to overclock the CPU in bios not so long ago, all i got was an error message and it wouldn't boot up until i changed it back to normal settings.
