New PC parts
I haven't put any real thought into this yet because it just happened out of the blue so I need some help. Long story short, my pc decided to randomly take a sht on itself (or at least my processor did) and now every game I run takes like 15%+ more cpu to run. CF gives me like 80-130fps instead of 240fps and it looks like I'm playing it on 20hz.
Sooo, basically I think it's time to upgrade. I have a GTX 660 2gb, 800watt power supply, and case already that I can keep easily. I dont want to spend too much. Since I already have the gpu, the biggest chunk of money is gone, and I want to spend no more than like 800ish.

Not like we'd need to know whether your build was an AMD or Intel to help you out... -

Honestly If you just wanna play cf, it really doesn't matter what you throw in your PC, just sayin. Some of the MSI Intel mobos have some really nice integrated peripherals like sound and easy over clocking. You'll probably end up with an ivy bridge i7 anyways, regardless of what I recommend. -

Get a 3570K and a decent Z77 board. You can buy both of these without spending more than $350.I haven't put any real thought into this yet because it just happened out of the blue so I need some help.
