Hi, i am wanting to upgrade my current PC so that i can play some more recent games, like BF3. i am looking for a socket AM3+ motherbored, with PCI-E2.0 slot (For a GTX Graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 560ti)). i was wandering if you can reccoment me some cheaper alternatives? the processor that i was looking at is an AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Socket AM3+ 6 Core Processor - 3.30GHz, 3.90GHz Turbo. i haven found a cheap motherbored that will fit the spec that i need yet. can you reccoment one?
thanks

BIG EDIT
Just googled the nam of my PC, using cpuZ thing, i found this. http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/pc/CQ9204.htm
That has the EXACT same spec as my PC, and is the same thing that CPUZ said.
when i google the motherboard of that PC, it says that it IS PCI-E 2.0 - http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_overview.aspx?ID=en-us0000449 - 1* PCIe2.0 x16, 2* PCIe2.0 x1, 3* PCI
I would like to ask everyone, is this what it means?
