LMAO i sold my old rig and now want to start building another one im not worried about OCing at all right now, Not till i get all that i needed. As i upgrade all my stuff will be traded in for the new stuff. So boardwise i just need something basic thatll work, till i trade it in for a better one, Needs to be less then 100bucks

mmmmmmmm, how come youve sold your very decent rig, to downgrade to a makeshift system, to then upgrade again? The logical thing would have been to keep your good rig then sell it at the point you want to upgrade to a better one? (unless you got given an insane amount for your old rig, which I doubt because you dont have the cash to build your new one :()
