Hey TPU dudes!
Im currently using a P5Q SE2 motherboard (budget model as u figured) and currently i got it very stable, no issues what so ever anymore, my current FSB is 425x8 which equals 3.41ghz cpu clock on my 2.66ghz Q9400 CPU.
I was whondering if its worth to change the motherboard to a ... lets say: Asus Striker II Formula OR XFX nForce 780i ?
Im planning to upgrade to a gtx470 shortly after they arrive, and i have no intension of running 2x in SLI so, i wont be needing neither CF or SLI.
What i do need is: Performance and Stability.
Im not planning to move on to i7 this year either, neither to upgrade my memory since i just dont think its worth the extra money to buy new memory to go from 850mhz to 1066mhz ddr2 if anyone else could talk me over it?
So... What do you guys here on TPU say?
All answers is much appreciated!

at the moment, the only thing that slacks in my system is my graphic card, its really bottlenecking my memory and cpu in the games and benchmarks
