I've been kinda out of the loop on PC hardware lately, but I'm upgrading my brother's PC. He's currently running a Athlon 64 on a DFI Ultra-D motherboard with 4GB of Ram and a Geforce GTX 250. Looking at upgrading the CPU, RAM, and motherboard. Looking at about $500 budget.
So far I've decided on the Intel Core i5 2500K. Looking for a good P67 motherboard and what 8GB Ram kit you would recommend to be able to overclock the 2500K well. I've been looking at the Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte P67 boards, and not really sure which to go with.
I was thinking of this Gigabyte P67 board because of the features and price point:
GIGABYTE GA-P67X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6G...
Not really sure about RAM, considering this just not sure if its worth the extra money:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM...
