Hi,
I have the KR version. Btw whats the difference? Is it just the warranty or is there any quality differences between the AR and KR?



* AR = Lifetime Limited Warranty 
 
* KR = 3 Year Limited Warranty
 

*NOTE:> If you register within 30 days of purchase!   Also,  if you bought the one with the lifetime warranty, you also get access to the Step Up program.     :)

You're sig shows 2GB of DDR2 RAM. You really should go up to 4GB (2x2GB) for your setup - if you're gonna keep it. If you move up to a P55 or X58 platform, then you'll need DDR3 RAM.
 
Since you're on a budget, a P55 motherboard with an i5-7xx CPU would match well with a GTX 460.  Add the fact that 4GB DDR3 kits have dropped a lot in price, and are a better value than DDR2, and you could build a rockin' gaming system.
