For the point though, he wants to go OC it a bit later too. That's why I think its best to wait a little.

His best bet is to get a Phenom II X3 Triple Core or Wait for more money.

True. I think the 720 would be fine but he needs a motherboard and cooler too.

ahwosh

Alright, so I'm guessing I should probably buy a new motherboard. Suggestions would be much appreciated. By the way, if I'm going to overclock a cpu i would prefer it to be able to be pretty highly OCed, while still being in a reasonable price range.

If you're patient enough, it'll be worth saving up a bit more. You don't really wanna skimp out on too much. If you do that, you'll be limited as far as overclocking and performance. Unless you want a dual core or something, but you said you wanted a quad, so you're budget should be a little higher. Just my 2¢.

It'll be worth the wait I'm sure. Just check into everything you can and look for deals too. Hell, even OCN's for sale section rocks for deals, sometimes ya get lucky.

I second Lethal's motherboard selection I'm planning to get one myself

Wat? the 9950 hits 3.0 so easily my grandmother can do it. At 3.0 it will handle pretty much anything you throw at it. They also have the potential to go even higher.

Thought you might like to know so you could possibly get the CPU now and other things later
