Hey guys, I recently gave my old rig to my nephew for a Christmas present but the Damn mobo gave in as luck would have it on Christmas day. Aarrgh!!
As it was an old 775 socket (Asus P5k Premium & Intel Q6600) it is I imagine hard to get another similar mobo. And tbh it probably needed an upgrade soon anyway. It also only held a max of 4gb ddr2 ram.
The only game he really plays is minecraft but sometimes also LoL & Dota 2.
Is there any cheap AMD budget combos which would serve him better than maybe paying similar money for a 775 second hand mobo? I would like to keep things cheap as possible so haven't really considered Intel at this point.
As he is 10 there are no premium features necessary such as overclocking, unlocked cpus etc. I just need the bare essentials to get him back up n running.
Thanks guys.
