    I currently have the following :

    Intel core 2 duo e6550 2.33ghz
    2gb ddr2 ocz reaper memory 800mhz running at 667mhz because of my crappy mobo
    evga gtx 460 1gb
    ocz 500watt psu
    crappy mobo not even worth mentioning.



    I'm looking for a good upgrade to my mobo + cpu + ram. As of right now i have a $200 dollar budget.
    So I need help getting a nice upgrade within that budget. Thanks guys!

    Your budget is tiny really, could maybe get a very low end am3 set up?

    Id prob spend it on a new motherboard so you can overclock and another 2gb ram.

    This is indeed the best option for now, if you want a decent upgrade save up a bit more for the next 2 months and buy Sandy Bridge when the chipset issue is fixed (should be in April.)
