Its not my pocket, its dad's
.
I know Core 2 Duo E7400 is a really nice processor and I manage to get it to 3.4 GHz with just FSB but the limit it somewhere near 2.6k maybe because of the phases.
So, If it was possible to fix LGA 1155 CPUs to LGA 775 or Vice-Versa, I would have got stuff step by step but since it is the other way aroung, I wand to spend to the fullest of my budget to get an A-1 Motherboard, RAM and CPU. After that GPU is I won't upgrade as in collage, 4-5 years from now, I will buy a 70k gaming beast so, for one year I want to see what hi-ends can do.
The trouble is also that my chipset is old and Intel Sucks except for extreme series when kept with ASUS or Gigabyte.
Then the Processor is not designed for OCing.
If there is nothing much new in a purchase you made, there is no fun in it..
