Hell that was my budget when i wanted to upgrade from my 955 BE Phenom II a few months before i got married. Was really considering a z68 board and an i3 2100. And just carry over my hard drives and ddr3 ram.

Just to give you a bit of perspective on how even a cheap CPU affects gaming performance, take a look at these benches.

those freakin pentiums impressed the hell out of me.

Well, they had a bf3 bench on that page, but it goes to show that bf3 is really GPU oriented.
