Unfortunately for that kind of budget you won't get a very good CPU, at best your looking at a very low end Allendale or a Presler type CPU.
Help! Cpu...mobo..
Hey guys! I just thought I would make a thread for help. I just got a 8800 gts and my current cpu is bottlenecking it bad. My cpu and mobo is horrible. My mobo wont run core 2 duos. SO.. I'm on the market looking for either amd or intel. but.. i have a $200 budget. it has to be a cpu and mobo and the mobo must allow overclocing and at least ddr2 533 cuz thats all i have and i cant afford ram now. Sorry if this is in the wrong area

but help would be awesome!
so.
amd or intel
drr2 533 at least
easy to OC
less then $200 for mobo and cpu together!
i have been looking around for 3 days and i just cant find anything that looks good.pm or post reply XD

very good choice-- from all that Ive heard that is a great mobo for the money and Im sure you could get a pretty decent overclock with that CPU-- havent heard too much about how Allendales overclock-- but hey its a Core2Duo.

with your budget i would have either gone with something like that or get a brisbane and put most of your money into a really nice AM2 board.
