Post 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.

Low profile ram is good in case you get a good heatsink and fan that might interfere with each other.

Post 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.

Post 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.

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

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.

lol I had to go through at least 3 rma's each on an MSI video card and mobo but that was like 6 years ago, so maybe they don't suck now.
