EDIT - Oh crap just realized this was going to be just about the CPU and i kinda went on about everything - and i forgot i was in the CPU section. Sorry

Hello.

So I'm building a new PC, and looking for a new CPU and wondering if it's worth getting a new CPU.

Right now I'm running e8400 OC'ed to 3.8. I was thinking of Intel Core i5 661 and ASUS P7P55D-E PRO Motherboard. I am a gamer. Already got my GTX460, and i got my new tower picked out NZXT Phantom Case Black.

Anything under 300$ AUD. What are your thoughts of the MB and CPU? If there any other MB Or CPU that are better and under 300$ let me know.

Also plan of getting 4x2GB Memory or 3x2GB Memory. Again anything under 300$ AUD would be the go. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
