So my chip has just taken out my mainboard of my processing rig, gutted.

I now need a new processor, motherboard, and seeing as I'll take this as an opportunity to upgrade to an i5, DDR3 sticks too.

My budget is about $500, but is a little flexible. I need about 6ish gig or ram.

Cheers NS

I'm in the UK so prices are higer, but do these look decent.
I haven't built a computer since spring last year.

Damn. It's a shame Newegg doesn't do international shipping, they really are the best place to get computer components
