My desktops motherboard fried a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been trying to decide what to do.. buy a new computer or simply get a new motherboard replace anything thats not compatible and salvage what i can from the old one..
What I'm looking at is
ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor ADX630WFK42GM - OEM
Crucial Ballistix sport 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664BA160A
and I want to upgrade my Nvidia 9600 GT with
SAPPHIRE Flex 100328FLEX Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
What do you guys think.. would that be a good route to take? I was gonna take my 500W PSU and 500 GB HDD out of my old desktop. I've never built a computer or even attempted to and I'm not to tech savvy =/ so any input would be appreciated. Thanks
