Hey there,
I'm in the process of upgrading my pc - a Dell Optiplex 790 with a mini-tower form.
I have bought a new graphics card (GTX 750Ti) and a new PSU (750W), but I've been told I'll need to upgrade my motherboard too.
So I have 3 questions:
1. Will I really have to replace the motherboard?
2. How do I choose which one is compatible with my new graphics card and PSU?
(I know I'll have to choose one that will take the 16Gb RAM I have on the old board)
3. Can I transfer my existing processor (Intel i7 2600 3.4 GHz) into the new board? (I know the sockets will both have to be 1155)
Thanks for any advice!
