That's a great price on that power supply. it's just too bad that it's not modular. After using a modular power supply and getting rid of cable clutter, I don't think I could ever go back.

Here is a good price if you need a Laser printer.

Brother HL 2170W Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer by Office Depot

Mine should be delivered tomorrow. A couple of friends have three of these for a few years and they do a good job. This model also networks through Lan, Wifi or USB. Newegg has good prices on toner and drums. Average 2.5 cents per page.

The wireless feature is great. Then you can put it someplace where you do not constantly inhale the toxic fumes that are inherent in the laser printers.

I don't have a wireless printer, but I have always had a laser printer shared on my server which sits in my basement in the back corner. The laser printer has been so cheap to maintain over the years. I couldn't imagine having to deal with inkjets and refills of ink cartridges all of the time.

Crucial's new RealSSD C300 64GB SATA 6 Gb/s

Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC064MAG-1G1 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

$144.99
$1.99 Shipping*

Sequential Access - Read 355MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s)
265MB/sec (SATA 3Gb/s)
Sequential Access - Write 70MB/sec (SATA 6Gb/s)
70MB/sec (SATA 3Gb/s)

Like the other budget SSDs, the 64GB C300 isn't going to be as fast as the 128GB and 256GB models. The reason is parallelism, as the lower capacity drives are not able to read/write as many NAND devices at a time. This primarily hurts in write-heavy scenarios, and the 64GB C300 is still rated for read speeds of up to 355MB/s and write speeds up to 75MB/s. While we wait for 25nm NAND devices to double capacities at current price points, the 64GB C300 is a very tempting option that's available now.

Second most important question, what's the budget?

If you want a Quad Core, seems to be the logical step from the Core 2 Duo, then you have to decide if you want to buy some new DDR3 RAM.

The i5-750 is very good, with a Gigabyte or Asus board, this will require DDR3 RAM.

For a little higher price for the processor, Core 2 Quad Q9505 and you can use your DDR2 RAM.

If you want to see a definite performance increase and save a little money, keep your E6300, get a new Gigabyte or Asus MOBO and buy a SSD, The Intel X25-V 40GB is $115 at Newegg, the OCZ Vertex and Agility series are good as well.

All depends on what our looking for.

Second most important question, what's the budget?

If you want a Quad Core, seems to be the logical step from the Core 2 Duo, then you have to decide if you want to buy some new DDR3 RAM.

The i5-750 is very good, with a Gigabyte or Asus board, this will require DDR3 RAM.

For a little higher price for the processor, Core 2 Quad Q9505 and you can use your DDR2 RAM.

If you want to see a definite performance increase and save a little money, keep your E6300, get a new Gigabyte or Asus MOBO and buy a SSD, The Intel X25-V 40GB is $115 at Newegg, the OCZ Vertex and Agility series are good as well.

All depends on what our looking for.

Dave,

Thanks for the info..

Budget.. Haven't really thought about a budget. Definitely not expensive since I don't use it for much besides Bad Company 2, forums, chatting.

The main thing is the mobo since the USB ports on the eVGA 750i FTW I currently have are not working.. I figured since I was upgrading the motherboard I might as well think about a processor too (nothing high-end but better than what I have now E6300).

I probably won't upgrade the RAM right now since I didn't get it too long ago. (even though it's out-dated lol )
