Help me upgrade with $275!
I'm trying to upgrade my cousin's computer:
Mobo: GA-M61PME-S2 CPU: X2 4000+ Brisbane RAM: 1GB Corsair DDR2667 HD: WD 250GB GPU: eVGA 7600GT We're working with $275 not including shipping & taxes Aparently, this mobo can't OC for the life of it. Which means upgrading to the 5000+ BE is pointless with this mobo. My next thought, e2xxx + mobo combo and hsf. or New mobo, hsf, video card. Does the 4000+ Brisbane OC well?

Did he want to stick with AMD or go Intel?

I'd go to Newegg and get the 5000 BE packaged with the 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers that are basically $9.99 after the $40 rebate. Then grab the ASUS 4850 that's $150 after rebate with this deal:
http://www.overclock.net/online-deal...ir-newegg.html You'd be at $295 now but have $70 in rebates coming. I don't think you'll get a better gaming performance upgrade than that per dollar spent. Also even though it's not a great overclocking motherboard, chance are you can bump the multi on the 5000 BE a couple times for something of an overclock. The RAM, Processor and Video Card are all also the basis of a great system when you can upgrade the motherboard in the future, perhaps when the $70 comes back.
