Hi guys,
I own M2N-MX mobo + Athlon X2 4000+ pros and got chance to flush it for RS 4000/-.Please suggest me the motherboard+prosseser combo around RS 8000/- to compliment my 8600gt 256MB DDR3 card along with 2GB palit 667 mhz RAM for gaming.Ya I know it will not be a great system and can't last long but I wish to invest in nehallem or bulldozer,DDR3 and 4870 or gtx 280 kind of stuff when available and little bit affordable at some time in future.:confused::confused::confused:

DG31 based mobo(2.8-3.2K) + E7200(5.3K) proccy
would come little over 8K
as u got GPU already do not think of nVidia chipset 630i based mobos.

+1 for MSI P35 Neo-F mobo, supports DDR3 RAM will make your specs last much longer.
2GB 800FSB single stick costs 1800
