Best motherboard bundle to go for? Totally confused!
Hi
Just established in a previous thread that I've got a hardware issue in my PC. Checked everything I can and pretty much narrowed it down to the mobo/processor.
So - I'm looking for a new one. Need to get it asap (preferably want to buy today) as the wife is breathing down my neck but totally overwhelmed & confused by motherboard/chip language!
Firstly - should I buy a whole new motherboard bundle or just a new processor? My fear is if I just buy a new processor and then find the motherboard has gone then I have to go through more hassle so might just be simpler to buy a bundle.
I currently have a Foxconn G41MX running an Intel Core 2 Quad.
I was hoping to stay with Intel, was looking at Asus/Gigabyte brands. My budget is preferably around the £100 mark.
Generally it's used as my wife's work machine but I do use it for a bit of Photoshop design work when working from home and also gaming (MW2 & ACR) so needs to able to support those easily.
I'll be keeping my GPU (ATI Radeon 5770).
Can anyone suggest any suitable boards I could look at?
Thanks :)
