    Some general CPU advice needed

    since you mention your cs6 work I would definitely go 8320 that is what I use and when I am doing photo editing, all 8 cores are loaded and it works great.. plus it doesnt cost that much more than the 6350 honestly, that is the only place I notice the upgrade from my Phen 2 965 overclocked...

    so this is my sons computer, built mostly from my left overs when I upgrade - he doesnt have an ssd yet, just an old wd black I knew that ssd's benefited from ahci, but do mechanical drives benefit as well? windows is loaded but I havent reloaded his steam account yet, which is what takes...

    problem with p2 965 and ga-990fx-ud3

    problem with p2 965 and ga-990fx-ud3

    when I upgraded to my fx proc I got a gigabyte ga-990fx-ud3 rev 3 with it (microcenter deal) I decided to upgrade my sons computer with that mb and my old 965. I put it together stock and it worked fine. I then tried to do a mild oc and now it wont turn on.. it goes to the "start win in...

    Overclocking

    where have you heard your cpu isnt verry overclock freindly? the 965 oc's well in most cases.. you can probably just change the multiplier and get to 4.0, that is what I did when I had mine if you want to learn about oc'ing a phenom 2, there is a guide here...

    Just a little budget gaming pc :)

    thats the board I have and I like it, but if you are already at 3.9 I wouldnt spend the money to upgrade.. you may be able to push it a few hundred mhz higher, but your bang for the buck factor goes right out the window at that point.. if you get 400mhz more is it worth the 105? I dont...

    are you waiting for Steamroller?

    I was in a similar situation as you. I had a 965 clocked to 4.0 under an h70 and I recently upgraded to the 8320. I didnt think the 965 was holding me back in gaming, but I had the upgrade bug and was able to get the 8320 for $140 @ microcenter and then I used the 965 to upgrade my sons...

    Looking for the best bang for the buck...

    so you guys dont think the jump to the 8320 is worth $30 more? I guess the more expensive motherboards may be the deal killer

    Dell UltraSharp U2713H $704.07, is this a good price?

    I know its taboo, but I think its only $575 shipped at the egg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260111&cm_sp=&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3891137&SID=rewrite hmm.. it looks like the new egg one is a different model

    Which Phenom X4 is the best value for money?

    hard to go wrong with the 965 that everyone recomended.. especially when they go on sale for $80, which seems to happen fairly often
