It came stock with an M3970AM-HP (Angelica) mobo and now the video card has failed. I went to upgrade the card and am finding out that due to HP restrictions my only real option is to buy the same card again (which I dont want to do). This is the first time I bought an off the shelf PC and am regretting it now. I have already upgraded the PSU to a Corsair 750W and would like to have video card upgrade options in the future. I am fine with the GPU for now so what mobo would fit in this case and would be compatible with my GPU, hard drive, blu-ray, dvd burner etc? The link below is the specs for the mobo. Ideally i would like to have a PCIE3 slot for future upgrade options. I really have tried to do my research but i get lost on all the options on sites like newegg.
Thanks for the help.

Buy and install a new gpu. The only restriction you had was the Case size/gpu length and PSU and you've already replaced the psu...

You Angelica board has a pcie x16 Gen2 slot so just about anything that fits would work.

If you do get a new motherbd, keep in mind that you will also need to purchase an OS. The OEM windows that came with the HP is not transferable to a new motherbd.
