So it turns out that my PSU went bad and destroyed other parts along with it, so now I need to spend some money on replacing EVERYTHING. Form factor is not an issue, I have a full tower and a 500 Watt PSU.

What has me completely annoyed is, I don't just have to buy that stuff, I'm going to have to upgrade my Windows from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 because I can't purchase a Product key for my Windows 7 to reactivate it when I do rebuild my system, and that alone is $235 (My currency is Bds$1.98 = $1.00US).

So this forum is open for suggestions, tell me some good Mother boards, I mainly use my computer for Gaming and I think I want suggestions because things in my country are so limited and EXPENSIVE. I saw on a Local website a GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P for $255Bds and online it's $80US($160Bds).

So please help me out so I see what I can works towards.

Thank you in advance.
