I've had this P6X58D-E, and it's done me well for a while, but it's time to upgrade, I think. Maybe a little long overdue, actually. Can someone recommend for me, please, a motherboard compatible with what I'm running?
I'm showing what's in my dxdiag, at least what I believe is the most pertinent information. As for the case, it's a Corsair Obsidian 750D (http://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-obsidian-750d-full-tower-case-review_126122).
Any recommendations are helpful. Would also like, if possible, for motherboard to be compatible with at least the i5-6400. The reason I'm asking about these upgrades is because I want to be able to hook up the Oculus Rift for a very good experience. Not looking to spend thousands and thousands of dollars, but I'm open to all suggestions, to include other potential upgrades, though I don't think I particularly *need* to do anything with video card, and upgrading RAM is easy if ever needed. Thank you all for your help, and please let me know if you need more info.
