So, I will be upgrading to Core 2 Duo soon, and wanted to know what your advice would be. I'm not doing a full build, just replacing the mobo, ram, and cpu.
For the motherboard I was thinking of going with:
The DFI Infinity 975x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136168
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131025
Intel Badaxe

And I was looking at the Abit AW9D Max, but it doesn't have enough pci slots for me. Also I will be overclocking.
For the CPU, I was gonna go with a E6300, but I saw the LGA 775 Conroe Xeon with the 4mb cache, and want to go with that if it's compatible with standard motherboards.

As for ram, I really don't know much about ram, but I know of some good brands, but would like to keep it under $300.
I was looking at the Corsair xms2 DDR2 2gb set

OCZ Platinum Rev. 2

Or the Patriot 2gb set

I am open to suggestions, so your help will be appreciated.
