Suggestion For Upgrade[ overclocking mobo + HSF ]
hello people,
I m returning to this forum after a long time, was extremely busy, with job,traveling, family and other stuff.
I have a two year old system comprising Intel C2D E7200 on Intel DG31PR ( Both have a year of warranty left), 2Gb DDR2 (800MHz) + 1Gb DDR2 ( 667MHz), Palit HD4850 Gfx card (1 and a half years Old), Corsair VX450W PSU, Seagate SATA2 640Gb (32 mb cache) + Seagate SATA 160Gb (old) + Asus DVDRW + Logitech Gaming Mouse + Samsung SyncMaster 793MB (17" Flat CRT Monitor, will sell the monitor very soon ) .
Since i m a little out of touch, with current processor and newer tech ( not that i will not do that )
If u give an option for overclocking, i would like to know which is a good motherboard for overclocking ?? Preferably with G/P-45 Chipset, Will not spend heavily on it, since will be upgrading to Core i7 + HD5870 within a years time anyway.
Any help will be deeply appreciated , thanks in advance !

- But i wanted to know If it is worth upgrading to Core i3 ?
- Or better to upgrade later to core i7 ( when prices come down a bit) ?
- Or for now just overclock my current system and run it for another year ? ( both gfx card and processor have never been overclocked)
