CPU/Mobo Collecting money. Need suggestions on a processor

[The Sauron]

Rated speeds Athlon II X2 240 2.80Ghz----Athlon II X2 245 2.90Ghz Not much difference in practical (Only 200/- more for X2 245) choose any one of these chips.

Some really good suggestions here. Thanks ShahJahan.

My pleasure

Okay, so now, with my usage and if we bring in the OS, which in my case, will be Windows 7 Ultimate x64, which will be faster and most VFM?

What is the rated speeds of the X2 240 and 245?

I don't think I will ever utilise all the cores efficiently given my usage. So this suggestion by ShahJahan does make sense.

Now to finalize the components. Please see me through.

Here I'd agree with virus32win. Go for Athlon II X2 245 2.90GHz.

So the X2 245 it will be.

Now, which would be the most VFM DDR3 board for me to pair it with. I will be using the MSI 4670 PCIEx Card which I already have with this system.

Also, can I get the board and proccy for under 5K? :ashamed:
