Hi. My computer is 3 and a half years old and my motherboard recently fried so i need help deciding whether to buy a new motherboard or just upgrade the CPU, mobo and RAM. My specs are as follow:
Intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0Ghz
Asus P5G41T-m le (fried)
silverstone 500w psu (half a year old)
Gtx 550 ti (3/4 years old)
4gb ram (1333mhz)
1tb HD
A *new* lga 755 mobo will cost me around 75 dollars AU. If i upgrade, i plan on getting an fx 8320, a new compatible mobo and 8gb hyperx ram.
Im not sure which to choose because my system seems a little outdated if i buy a motherboard and since its old stock I'm afraid it may have some problems.
Also if purchasing my current choice of upgrades is enough future proofing since i am on a lower budget.
Please help me decide on this and feel free to drop any suggestions or advice. Thank you!!!!!!
