I assembled my computer in 09 and through the years upgraded some parts as needed such as video card/cpu cooler. Couple months ago my graphic card died on me. Luckily the warranty on it still worked and I called EVGA and got a replacement card. The replacement card died a month later with same issue, so I got another replacement card from EVGA. This one lasted a little over a month...about 40 days and died again with same issue. So this was the 3rd of the same card that died on me. I called EVGA and now they are sending me a different model. So all this stuff got me thinking. Although it is not clear to me what the problem is, im taking a guess into assuming that it is either my motherboard or power supply. I don’t want to have to keep sending cards back, so im planning on upgrading my motherboard and powersupply to secure myself from any further problems. I also have a SSD Drive which is not at its full potential speed due to having a outdated motherboard. I will need a mobo to support sata 6.0GB Speeds. Even though I had this Rampage II motherboard I had done no overclocking since I don’t know how. All I need now is a motherboard that will support my SSD drive to its full potential and a power supply that will be able to power everything connected without problems. I want to be able to play latest games at 1080p with close to 60 fps. Please help me find a good motherboard and again I don’t know how to overclock, therefore I will not be overclocking it.
