Good day!

I was hoping to get some guidance with rebuilding a desktop. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 for 6 years and the motherboard died on me. What do you guys suggest that I should buy? I want this computer to have a great performance so budget is not a problem. I was looking at a bundle from Tigerdirect but since it's been years I have worked on a computer, my knowledge is a bit fried as to what is good and what's not.

Thanks!
