CPU/Motherboard recommendation
Please share your CPU and Motherboard recommendation for a casual gaming rig to go with a single GeForce GTS 450 for now, maybe go SLI later. Tight budget so give me the lowest priced you'd go with. Thanks

Exactly how tight is your budget? Do you already have the GTS 450?

Uh not sure about an exact number on budget yet. Let's say $200-$250? I have had good luck with AMD processors and ASUS motherboards in the past so I'd like to stick with those. Do I need quad core for gaming? Again, I'm not up on the technology but seems like that's overkill if I'm just running one game.
No do not have video card yet. No good? |
