I'm looking for a new mobo, CPU and RAM and im shooting for $250, no more than $300 (maybe if you sweet talk me into it lol)
It's been a while since I kept up with the new AMD's and Intels so I'm a bit lost what's the best bang for buck.
EDIT: I'll list out the programs I use most in case that help steer it one way or another
-Starcraft 2
-BF: BC2
-GTA IV
-Fall Out 3 GOTY
-Portal 2
-Duke Nukem (when it comes out)
-Counterstrike Source (never gets old lol)
-Photoshop CS5
-iTunes
