with some bios updates you can and i have heard that this motherboard supports it. as far as the apu even the older 2 cores cost more then the pentium

As cheap as I could really bear to call a good idea. I very strongly recommend a higher budget.

Bad idea.

 

Anyway, is it possible to squeeze a GTX 750Ti in there?

What's wrong with 1600? it's only a bottleneck in extremely heavy gaming and professional applications, and you didn't say that he was doing either.

Woo!

Yeah, same here. U sure you can't raise the budget a little, at least to put in a GTX 750ti?

I've never heard of this. I've learned through experience that overclocking ram is very difficult.

and why try to push the limits of a web-browsing pc?

Woo!

Don't have ice. Besides, it's a sore. It will make it worse. On the inside.
