Question Got $360 for AM3 cpu/mobo/RAM, what to get?
Ok guys I have managed to finagle $360 for a cpu/board/RAM. What should I get?
Of course I'll rep for good help.

Edit: And the board needs to be crossfire.

EDIT 2: Would a 945/UD4P/4GB OCZ platinum be worth $357 shipped?

Thanks man but that stuff other than the CPU is AM2+.

What I am looking for, is a crossfire board, the best CPU for the money and the best ram for the money.

Surprised more people haven't replied.....

You could go frisky and get a x3 720 together with a acc enabled board like an Asus evo or for a bit less a Asrock M3A 785. Add some decent memory like Corsair xms and you will keep things well within budget. With a bit of luck you would be able to unlock an extra core if you want to.

You definitely want this setup; especially because of the amazing combo deal and instant savings. I debated getting it for a few days but I'm waiting for 890FX for a new motherboard. Better buy the combo before they run out

UD4P/4GB OCZ PLAT/PHII550 $290.96

You wanted UD4P/and OCZ PLAT and x955 right? If youre on a $360 budget, I recommend you those links. 2 out of 3 you want. Why PHII x2 550? It has a high chance unlocking the other two cores. so basically getting what you want for cheap. PHII x2 550 is a crazy overlocking chip also!! 550 ftw!
