Ok, im looking for some input here.

Looking to put together a cheap quad core system that overclocks well. I have been watching prices, and noticed this combo deal on Newegg:

GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Phenom II X4 920

$222.98-$10MIR=$212.98

I just wondered if you all thought this was a pretty good way to go for what I need. I do not need SLi or crossfire.

One thing i am confused on is the specs say it will use DDR2 1066, but then some reviewers are saying they use DDR3?

Will be used for gaming

Budget ~$300

All other parts needed (PSU etc.) I already have, except RAM which, depending on replies, I will pick up.

Any input is appreciated
