 Diablo 3 and my pc
Need a new cpu,board and ram. Im out of the loop these days on whats good so i need some suggestions. Budget is 250,lower if possible.Im lacking in the cpu department to run Diablio 3 (even though i could overclock a little more and make minimum specs) I want something that will run it smooth. I would rather go amd and crossfire but im open to suggestions. I will be overclocking so keep that in mind and i favor mushkin ram. Im good on gfx card and everything else so i only need cpu,ram and board,and board has to be atx no micro shit.
Remember budget,im not trying to have the fastest shit out there.

 Re: Diablo 3 and my pc
microATX was explicitly designed to be backward-compatible with ATX. The mounting points of microATX motherboards are a subset of those used on full-size ATX boards, and the I/O panel is identical. Thus, microATX motherboards can be used in full-size ATX cases. Furthermore, most microATX motherboards generally use the same power connectors as ATX motherboards,[6] thus permitting the use of full-size ATX power supplies with microATX boards.
So, yes he can.

 Re: Diablo 3 and my pc
Thanks for the help guys.Yeah i can use a micro but i got huge cooler master and it just wouldn't look right,its not out of the question though. Looks like i can get alot of bang for my buck. Ill read the reviews for stuff yall listed and make a decision.Looks like the Phenom is a winner for sure,i was already favoring it and i was looking at a as rock board. I just wanted to make sure i wasn't way off base.

 Re: Diablo 3 and my pc
I have the Z77 Sabertooth and it ROCKS! It's also not cheap, it would close to your whole budget, lol.

 Re: Diablo 3 and my pc
I hate asrock mobos. I refuse to do business with that company ever again.
go with the big 3, asus, msi, or gigabyte.
I am typing this on an asrock mobo, but it took me rma'ing twice and writing a ton of shit reviews of their products on hardware forums before they finally sent me a mobo that worked.
