Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that detail. Back then you could overclock anything...now even the motherboards are locked? T_T Greedy bastards. Also seems like Newegg has a lot of 10% off PSU deals going on, might be a good time to jump in before it's over

61 dollars take home price after rebate for a good quality ~600W PSU is ridiculously good.
Yea in that case going with a better board might be worth it. Only problem is Intel is switching sockets on us like crazy, and that nicer board could become useless in a short amount of time, which would suck.
