This is the first time i'll perform a motherboard replacement. But reading many articles online makes my sorting vague and confusing. I have an HP pavilion p6210f PC with a faulty Pegatron M2N78-LA motherboard. Is there any cheaper alternative that supports the same specs as my PC?
I would also like to keep the same components. Any feedback or advise would be gladly appreciated. Thank you all.


Basic Specs are:
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9100 Chipset
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 620(2.6GHz)
CPU Type: Athlon II X4 Installed Qty: 1 CPU Speed: 620 (2.6GHz) L2 Cache Per CPU: 4 x 512KB CPU Socket Type: AM3 CPU Main Features: 64 bit Quad-Core Processor
