So...my desktop died a few months ago, very very sad, it was a slimline which means limited space...lol. Now, I bought a new tower, a new PSU and they are just sitting there, soon I am going to get about $400US ($800Bds, my currency) in my hands and I want to delegate that for Computer rebuild usage!
This is where you come in. I would suggestions for a good performance MOBO that isn't too pricey! My next stop is going to be a CPU, so I need to stretch that 400 bucks between those two and then I can always work on the RAM later and the Operating system (since I was told by Microsoft that I will need to purchase one).
I want something with good onboard graphics until I can save up for a good graphics card.
I guess I should say that I use my computer to play games, use architect CAD software and for programming as well...So anything you can suggest will be great. If I can get MOBO, CPU and RAM out of that 400 dollars I'll be glad, but I won't mind just the CPU and MOBO.
Reason I'm here is because I had bought a BIOSTAR A780L3B board in late November 2012 and now I'm stuck with no desktop, I dunno if it's because the board was cheap or what, but I just hate knowing I spent that money to rebuild my computer and a year and...2-3 months later I need to repurchase everything including an OS which I spent hella money on but now is useless once I do another rebuild...Yay me....Plus I hate working my laptop so hard.
So help please. =)
Whatever you suggest I'll also read reviews on. Thank you in advance. =)

I guess he has a little wriggle room to buy a low-end graphics card comparable to the onboard graphics of the i5 processor if he can re-use his memory?
