Help !


Please! :p
 
I would say your pc is still fine.

You could sell the motherboard, memory and CPU and get a SB setup.
 
Sandybridge is LGA1155 right?

Is there a point where price/performance meet at an ideal point? (With regards to the CPU etc)

The 2500k which can be overclocked to around 4.4ghz with ease and a reasonable motherboard and 4gb of ddr3 ram.
 
Are there any standout Memory/Motherboard Combo's at the moment?

How's the Asus P67 Sabertooth ?

The sheer choice of memory is confusing me !
 
Spec below, motherboard has the abillity to run PCI-E 3 with Ivy Bridge when launched to give a possible furure upgarde.
