Mobo i would step up to the P5B-E, CPU id probably drop down to the e4400 (suspecting your not getting your comp for a month)


I dont know how much the big typhoon is but this might help:

Higher Muiltiplyer, Hence in theory it will overclock farther, Also it should be a bit faster than the e6300 at stock speeds.

Note that im not talking about the e4300 here.

I know which one you are talking about but also the e6320 which is coming out will have more cache so wont that help speeds a little more or does it not make much difference if so i will get whatever can go the fastest
