If its not to much trouble, can someone tell me the differences in the slots so I can tell these things for myslef? thanks.

The following would be a very good upgrade:

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128337

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036

Here's some info on slots, it's pretty up-to-date, it doesn't cover the PCI-E 16 2.0:

I think I'm all set for motherboards for now, unless you think I really need it. Thanks for the link btw.

Too bad to burst your bubble, but u can't get a decent processor from intel with that budget.

Processor: AMD X2 5400 B.E. 2.8ghz

Video Card: Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce 9500GT

For gaming: PNY Nvidia Geforce 9600GT (u need an exta 20 dollars for this)

Hope that Helps.

A good Motherboard for this combo would be MSI K9A2 Platinum

E7300
