Alright so I'm buying a new motherboard, gpu, ram, pcu, and psu for my old computer. I have 1 dvd drive and 2 cd drives and two small hard drives (80gb and 160gb) in it, and these are the parts I have picked out so far.
sapphire hd 4850
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100242L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
q6600
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Processors
4gb gskill 1066
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I need to figure out what motherboard i should buy. I know that i should get a p35/43/45 board but i'm not sure exactly which one, and I have no clue what kind of power supply I should get. I have no plans to buy a second hd 4850 so a second pci slot isn't necessary. I would like to be able to overclock my pcu a little bit, nothing too crazy, 3.0 GHz probably. Id like to spend about $90-$120 on the motherboard and $60-$80 on the PSU, any suggestions?
