I want to upgrade my computer and I don't want to spend a ton of money.
I think I'm set on the CPU, intel Q6600 looks good.
Now which motherboard and ram should I choose?
I want to overclock it to something like 3.2ghz
Should I go with DDR2 ram or DDR3 and why?
How fast should the ram be, is 800 enough or 1066?
Do you have some recommendation for the board, when I purchased my last Board, DFI was great for overclocking.
I do not need much from a board : at least 1 PCI port, 1 ethernet port, 2 IDE and 2 sata. That's probably enough for me.
I just want the best bang for the buck
Also I guess like in the past, the OEM heat sink is not enough to overclock, so any suggestion?
