dont wanna risk it? get a 240/250 and plz giga board. 785 will treat you super nice

edit ps04b best in class :) solid case, wil lfit large cards later on if needed

AFAIK, semprons dont unlock as there aren't any deactivated cores on them at all. And considering the minor difference in price, there is no reason to recommend a sempron over an Athlon II x2 @ 3Ghz
