if its what you have in your sig is there any reason you can't hold off to see how bulldozer performs when its released ?

unless you have problems with your current mobo i wouldn't bother replacing it, just wait til bulldozer is released.

if you want to upgrade to intel, gaming wise the 2500K is the best choice at the moment.

Yip but memory is only 4 gb and its ddr2 so I think new mobo might be good an use exaisting CPU till bill sizer comes out ? Excuse typing bloody iPhone lol

i really wouldn't bother if it was me, 4gb is fine for gaming still and ddr2/3 is pretty much irrelevant unless your benchmarking in my experience.

nothing wrong with typing on an iphone, invest in smaller fingers lol.
