Guys, will be buying a new CPU + motherboard for basic home usage. Will be using 2GB of Corsair XMS3 from thegatekeeper @ 850bucks for now.

As of now will be going for

CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 260 @ 3.1k
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA 880GM USB3 @ 4.55k [880G+SB710] GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-880GM-USB3 (rev. 1.x)

will be purchasing the above from prime tomorrow.

Any suggestions/modifications to the above? My budget is approx 8K for CPU+mobo.

Will be upgrading to a Phenom X4 afterwards if needed, but for now, need a basic rig. Also, will be increasing the RAM to 8GB later.
