I have $1200 to spend.

I was thinking of getting:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143204

but I need a new processor because this one sucks horribly. It's starting to burn out.

I have an:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850


------

Any suggestions on what I should do?

I have 4.0 GB of RAM (I'm getting 12 GB soon)

im a big fan of nvidia, but if your spending that much get an EVGA card.


heres the equivalent EVGA card, same clock speeds

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130508

or here is one thats the same price(minus shipping) but its not OC'd

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130504

the clock speeds are close enough that if u wanted to save the 50$ to get a better cpu it wouldnt be noticeable

also just in case.. heres the next one up "FTW Edition"

processor depends on your mobo, atm i like intel.

but to be honest since i got mine not that long ago im not in the market so i dont really know what to suggest

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010340343%2050001157&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&Order=RATING

check there and just read the reviews both on newegg and other sites like TomsHardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Components,1/CPU,1/)

mines still highest rated on newegg and i bought it last april

if your buying a new mobo i suggest evga or gigbyte

also once you figure out somewhat the hardware you want look at the combo deals, a good way to save a few bucks so you can buy some extra fans or whatever ^^
