Heeeeeeelp

I'm a carpenter, not a tech guy. Just love my PC games

Don't know how to post pics, but here's stuff from the motherboard

IPMB7-MP
There's 4 SATA plugs
Integrated video card

I have a beastly video card I'm gonna use
http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16814125494
It fits in my case, was installed on factory motherboard

My power supply is more than capable of running everything (upgraded)

Thanks
I have about 200$ to spend

That motherboard is equipped with a PCIe x16 Gen 3.0 slot. It is capable of running your card.

What is the CPU you have in your board?

What exact power supply do you have?

Tom's Hardware PSU Tier List, please read thoroughly.

Motherboard is shot, second one from the factory to go, it was previously installed on the second motherboard

I'll look up the info on the supply when I get home

Thanks

If two motherboards died right after another, your power supply may have killed them.

This is a list of compatible motherboards, sorted by highest to lowest buyer rating.

These are my recommendations.

I personally recommend the Corsair RM/RMi/RMx series, the EVGA SuperNOVA G2/P2/T2 series, and the Cooler Master V (not VS) series of power supplies.

These are my recommendations.

Yeah, that's why I got a new power supply. Since I need a new MB, might as well get a good one

It's tier two, not bad by any means, but not expected to last more than five years.

In 5 years my entire PC will be obsolete anyways haha

I was going to say that, but didn't want to offend you.
