Give me your mobo specs when you can and I will recommend you crap. Also, here is a pretty cheap, yet very good build that I thought up of the other day, you might want some of the components on it. Now, the CPU, Mobo, and GPU go hand in hand so you don't want to get any one without getting the others.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13GH

Thelis i have a MoBo question for u.im gonna be buildin a new comp cuz as i said earlier tonight the one im on right now licks monky nuts,im gettin a E6850 wich has a 1333mhz fsb my build is already priced at 3k,and the MoBo i picked out is an intel with a 1066mhz FSB so should i spen that 20 bucks extra for a 650i MoBo with a 1333mhz FSB???

Ah hold on. Give me the specs of your rig, and I will say what I think. As for the e6850, that CPU is NOT going to work with a mobo that has a 1066Mhz FSB. You NEED a mobo with 1333Mhz FSB. Also, sorry for being frank, but screw the 650i, if you are going high budget, get the 680i, much better chipset.

Give me the specs and I will say what I think about it. You can also talk to me on AIM.
