lol. Now it feel good for considering it. I'll give him a call and try to pick it up tonight or sometime tomorrow. Lord willing it will all work and I'll be set for a few months.
Hopefully longer. I need to slow down on upgrading before I turn into an enthusiast.lol

Comparatively, 3.5Ghz is not a great overclock.

That's a pretty decent board, and for that + the 4850, you can't go wrong. Just OC the CPU a bit and you should be all set.
