Hey all -
I have been doing a bit of research and got some recommendations from some people on another forum.
Basically I have a micro tower PC currently with:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3.2 GHz
2 GB ram (ugh!)
I need advice on upgrading my motherboard, ram and processor. I was linked to these 3:
MOBO:

RAM:

PROCESSOR:

After looking through those, the thing I've noticed about the motherboard is it only accpets 95W processors and only up to 8GB of RAM.
Is this right?
Can anyone link me in the right direction (for cheapest) that will get me a good solid processor, 16GB of RAM and a motherboard that can support all this?
I am building a system for 3D work and video editing, as my system now is too slow and can't handle big renders or even a lot of HD footage.
Thanks!
