Looking to do a MB and CPU upgrade for my system with a $200 - $250 budget, and was wondering what suggestions anyone had.

As a reference, I have been looking at the items suggested in an article from Tom's Hardware, they recommend the Intel E2160 CPU With a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L MB due to the ability to overclock the CPU to a significant degree.

What are the thoughts on that MB + CPU?

I am trying to gear my system for more graphics-intensive MMOs such as Age of Conan and Warhammer Online.

Here are the other components in my system:
350GB SATA HD
SATA DVD Burner
Nvidia 8800GT
2 GB RAM
Vista x64
550W Power Supply

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: After reviewing Newegg, it seems the above Mobo has been replaced functionaly with the follwing:
ASRock P45R2000-WiFi LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

The AsRock is not comparable to the Gigabyte.

Anyone else able to help with hardware recommendations please?

I'd recommend this mobo and this CPU instead.

I'll look at those, thanks!

What are the main benefits of those over the ones I indicated?

Much better performance for the same price and quality.
