I'm looking to upgrade to a C2D setup. After the R600 fiasco settles, I plan on making my one and only upgrade to my system including new mobo, CPU, RAM and video card.
Current specs:
Opty 170 @ 2.7GHZ
2GB OCZ GamerXtreme PC4000
DFI LanParty CFX3200 Crossfire mobo
Silverstone 560w PSU
Watercooled
I want to sell my current mobo+CPU+RAM and try to upgrade for as little money as possible. I'm going to overclock the snot out of this CPU so I need suggestions about the best C2D overclocking setup that will yield the best results for the smallest amount of money.
I havent paid any attention to C2D or any mobos or RAM, so help me shed some light on this!
EDIT: Almost 100% made up my mind to go with E4300 unless someone can convince me otherwise. Still need help picking mobo and RAM. Want to hit 3GHZ if not more.
