First of all I'll give my system specs which I built on 9/23/14 :
Case: Corsair Carbide 300r PSU: Rosewill Capstone 750W MB: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 CPU: AMD BOX AMD FX-8320 BLACK ED CPU cooler: Coolermaster HYPER 212 EVO memory: GSkill Ripjaws Z Series 8GB DDR3 2400 GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming OS and games drive: Crucial 512GB 2.5 MX100 SSD media drive: WD Red NAS Hard Drive WD30EFRX keyboard: Logitech G510s keyboard: mouse: Logitech "plain jane" usb mouse sound: Logitech G430 cans display: Samsung px2370 display
So...I just replaced the water-logged mobo with the same BUT I started thinking that it may be time to upgrade rather than spending $140 on what is an outdated mobo.
So my question is should I return the mobo and consider upgrading to either an A10 or I7 mobo and processor? I must admit I could use some guidance when it comes to the new CPU's. My current system I put together for around $650 (not including the GPU which was $345)
Any and all input and suggestion would be appreciated.
