Hello,

One of my ram slots stopped working on my motherboard, so I need to find a replacement motherboard that will work with all of the parts that I have.

Her's my specs:

CPU: Intel Celeron G1610

MB: MSI H61M-P31 (G3)

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R7 240

RAM: Team Elite Plus 8GB DDR3 1600

Better right now for gaming; the i5-3550 and its board by a small margin. Better in the long run; the i3-6100 and its board (not obsolete like the other combo). You can always upgrade the i3 CPU in the future for an even better combo. Besides, there's not that much difference gaming between the hyper-threaded 5th gen dual core and the non-hyper-threaded 3rd gen quad core.

That board will work too. Here is the webpage for the board so you can get all the details: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H61ME/overview/
