ok so I desperatly need to upgrade my pc and I dont want to spend too much on it (about $1k) but I want to be able to play demanding games and work on multimedia programs with no lag.
so far I have decided on: and this is the cheapest i have found:
Intel Q9550 - $423
9800GTX+ 1GB - $292
G.Skill NQ 2(or 4)GB 1333 DDR3 - $79 (or $99)
But i have no idea which motherboard to get. Obviously it needs to support DDR3 RAM and a quadcore cpu.
i was thinking about a asus p5q3 ddr3 but im not really sure
which motherboard should i get? and have i made good choices with everything else?
NOTE: prices are australian dollars
