Forget about DDR3 boards on your budget.

It will probably go a good 3.2Ghz on stock cooling.
Got to start menu and click run. Put this in the box "%SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe" with out the " and you have your answer. aesedai, as said above DDR3 is a waste on your budget. DDR 3 really isnt a huge jump over DDR2. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4360085&CatId=3446 That should hold you over.
Thanks but that makes about 400$ inclusive of the graphics card how about a 450$ budget not including HDD,DVD writer and Graphics card.
So if i do get a DDR2 motherboard What bout future upgradability? What if i said there's room for increase in my budget and i'd like a computer that can go for about 3/4 years just advise me on the motherboard processor psu
DDR2 is the best value u can get. at this time DDR3 is a big waste of time. the money u have add for more DDR2 ram (GB)
So $450 for a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, PSU and Case?

The UD3R is in stock, it's only the UD3LR that's out of stock. I don't recommend Asus boards to most people as their low and midrange boards have taken a tumble in build quality over the last couple of years.
