CPU/Mobo Suggest a CPU + Mobo Combo for 14-15k

[Fr0z3n]

Hi guys,
i plan to upgrade my current setup, almost everything is decided except the mobo+cpu combo hyeah:
The usage is mostly non-gaming, but will be running applications which uses all 4 cores, so I am looking for a quad-core(intel/AMD) and a mobo, any suggestions?

PS:15k is hard limit, can't spend more than that

some configs i have looked into are
Intel Q6600 + Intel DG31PR
AMD 9600 + Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
AMD Phenom 9600 + ASUS M2A-VM

Phenom 9600 has the TLB bug, rite?

Q6600 + Abit IP35-E

that has been to most used combo for last year, anything new in the combo?

For 15k, I dont think there's anything better than what Sidhu suggested, for ur requirements; :|

A Q9300 is probably an overkill;

Q6600 + Abit IP35E is your best bet.

Q6600 + IP35E Ftw.

Spent Couple More In processor And get The New 45NM Core Penryns

Like Q9450 ...!

First and foremost of all, don't get Intel motherboards or you won't be able to overclock.

Abit IP35-E + Q9300 would hit your hard limit and be best bang for that.

thanks for the replies, but

keeping overclocking aside, are there any other options ?
