$90 Phenom II X3 (OEM) or Athlon II X4 (PIB)

[BurningSkyline]

Because either way I want to buy the Cooler Master Hyper 212+

I'd take the athlon... no telling whether the OEM phenom will unlock or not.

Most new games and games coming soon prefer quadcores now.

How much could I get a Decent System for? $550-600?

I hate being 14 because it is hard to make money...

$600 is an okay budget. newegg I'm guessing?

Wow, I didn't need you to make it, but thanks
Not very fond of that case but it is good for what you pay for it.

 

[linkin]

Yeah I was just trying to keep budget. change it if you want

 

[BurningSkyline]

Not too fond of ASRock, but Could I find a good Gigabyte/MSI/ASUS board with a similar price tag?

 

[linkin]

Probably. I just like this board

Power Supply. The Coolermaster is really over priced.

Seasonic 650W 52 amps the 12V rail.

Thats a AM2+. Wont work on a AM3 board and DDR3.

 

[BurningSkyline]

Plus, I'm going to assume it isn't AM3

EDIT: C3, not AM3!
