Hello I want to make a gaming computer. Right now i have a dell dimension E521 with a nividia graphics card and 5 gigs of ram. The processor is like 5 years old now is a AMD 64 athlon X2 3.2 Mhz. what im looking for is a quad core processor with 4 slots for memory and 2-3 fan plug ins and im using this case"COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 Black Steel / Plastic Computer Case" and my money limit is 0-350$(all i need is the cpu and mother board)
 
What RAM do you have? If you want to re-use the RAM you have knowing what RAM you have will help in choosing a good motherboard.
 
im not sure but its one year old and probply the normal and do you know what i should get cpu and mouth board wise.
 
Without knowing what memory that you have I can't suggest a replacement motherboard that will use your old RAM. Chances are that your old RAM won't work in many of the newer motherboards. So, I've picked out an inexpensive, but solid, motherboard, CPU and RAM combination for you. At the time I posted this, the shipping for the continental US for these items totals $0.99. So the cost of the parts is the primary expense, totaling about $220.00 plus tax and $0.99 shipping.

ASUS M4A78LT-M AM3 AMD 760G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz CPU

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333

[edit]
A 6 core, and costing more:


AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz
 
can this mother board work with this cpu:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDE00ZFBGRBOX
 
can this mother board work with this cpu:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDE00ZFBGRBOX

Yes, the ASUS M4A78LT-M AM3 motherboard will work with that 6 core CPU.
