I see and I remember seing that post last year, I know it isn't easy to have enough funds to build something nice and can get things done for yourself is it ?
Atleast you aren't dealing with a 433mhz or p3 at 750mhz that tried to keep up with how much you were putting in gave out....
**** just for old laughs and some old pain, I remember I scrapped up atleast 145.00 in 2007.
It wasn't much at all, but atleast it got me my first LGA775 cpu the celeron d 347 at 3.1ghz!
Scraped it on by with a decent gigabyte mobo and 512mb of DDR1 2700.
I still had my p3 750mhz and I gave that to co-worker at one of my old jobs he used it for a month and sold it for less than 50.00 ? :|
You know what though, I am going back you up with what I can give you and no paybacks required.
If your dead set on going for a sandy bridge setup even if it means you start out with one of the newer core i3's 2500k's I'll paypal you later on this week and give you 25.00.
It's up to you to pick up the first ram sticks you'll need for a build or put it away and buy your first mobo.
Don't ask why I am doing this, but I hate to see people suffer or go without and they can't atleast afford something workable.
