Okay so I was thinking about upgrading my motherboard, cpu, ram and MAYBE the hard drive. I don't know if it's necessary. I would prefer not to go through the trouble of backuping/formatting.
Anyway I'll be going for a e2180 (oc it) and 2 gigs of cheap G.Skill RAM. I don't really know which motherboard to get. It should be around 100$/€ and great for overclocking.
Is there any other difference between these new gigabytes and the old ones except the energy saving thing? If someone got some positive experience with one i might get it.
Also should I get an aftermarket cooler with the e2180? I've read people saying that you can oc it really high even with the stock cooler.
Budget upgrade

Yea, you should get an Arctic Freezer 7 with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste.
or a Zalman 9700 with Arctic Silver Thermal
Both good choices.
Intel's stock heat sink and fans suck
Core-Contact Freezer or Arctic F7, as simple as that.
