Hey guys, im new here. Picking up an old build I did a few years ago from a friend. The motherboard is fried. Found this motherboard and cpu combo on ebay and im just wondering if it will be enough for now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-new-ATX-DP965LT-3-4-4-dual-core-Motherboard-Combo-/281155057786?pt=US_Motherboard_CPU_Combos&hash=item417625b87a

thanks in advance for any and all replies. Don't really want to spend big money right now. Just want to get this rig up and going. Anything is better than my 6 year old HP pavillion a6212n im running now.

I'm not sure what games you're hoping to run, but anything past Startcraft 2 would probably be too much for that setup (most games). It wouldn't be bad for a lot of things, but gaming isn't one of them.

well for now it would be like counterstrike source and league of legends. So no on that one? also can u recommend any combos that would be okay for around 100 dollars? thanks in advance!
 
im just looking for something in the 100 dollar range. the computer has a graphics card in it although i cant remember what kind. its an ati with 512mb memory but thats all i can remember. any suggestions?
