Exactly, I have a "cheapo" Asrock H61-HVS motherboard, costs about 40-50€ and the cool thing is they've released a BIOS update for it that makes it Ivy Bridge CPU compatible. I've got a i3 cpu right now and it's absolutely awesome! but the time will come when you'll need at least 4 cores for gaming and then I'll just upgrade to a ivy bridge CPU which will be much cheaper in a year or so.
