Well my mobo has fkd out and Im looking at upgrading the whole computer while Im at it.
So whats the latest Mobo's/CPU's out atm? Would prefer Intel to AMD cause well AMD is crap.
Cheers

Moneys not too much of a problem. Id like to future proof me so to speak for the next few years, obviously I may have to upgrade the CPU at a later date but as long as the mobo is the latest tech or whatever itll be a good foundation.

Re: Motherboards
look to go i5 or i7 but that will mean upgrading the cpu at the same time as the mobo as your current one wont fit

Re: Motherboards
Yeah I realise that. Also apparently I need new RAM as my old Ram wouldn't work on the new mobo.ugmo wrote:look to go i5 or i7 but that will mean upgrading the cpu at the same time as the mobo as your current one wont fit
Was priced around $700 for Mobo + CPU + 4gb RAM for an I5 System, which I couldn't afford atm so just getting a cheap replacement board to get me back for a while till I can afford the upgrade.

Re: Motherboards
If you care to comprehend everything that I wrote Ben, you would know Im looking at a future upgrade which money isn't an issue Ive just ordered a cheap replacement board to keep me with a PC in the meantime until I decide on what to get and who to get it through (aka Ugmo once he gets back from his time away from work 
) and till Payday next thurs... it sucks not getting paid weekly
I know you Aussies struggle with well everything
