I build a computer for my brother 2 years ago. It "died" yesterday. He took it to a pc repair shop, which told him either his mother board or cpu is bad. (I could have told him that and saved the $70.00 exam). I live a few hours away, so I could not look at it, but will make the repair for him.
The PC has a i5 2500 Sandy Bridge and a P8P67 Pro Asus. Should I replace the damaged part or upgrade both?
He does not game--It is a work pc where he uses Photoshop, heavy excel, has 4 browsers/everal tabs each at any given time, 3 monitors. He does not need overclocking, and the computer has been flawless for him for the last 2 years.
Thoughts? Thanks!
