Hi,

As a student finding the money for upgrades and whatnot is quite hard and when i do get some money it isnt a lot so im in a bit of a predicament. I want to spend max £150 and ill need a mobo, cpu and ram.

This is where the problem is for that money i can get an AMD system based around a 5200+ but the problem is i dont know which motherboard to buy.

On the other hand i would like to buy a c2d system as i know they are better but in that price range it looks as if it is going to be hard to get a decent cpu and mobo as decent c2d mobos seem a lot a more expensive than amd ones.
 
what speeds do you think ill get with an e2140?

and ive got thermalrite si-120 cooler is it compatible witht that mobo?
