Greetings, fellow Tom's Hardware user!
tl;dr: MoBo and CPU destroyed. New parts (Intel) to go with R7 260x GPU and future GPU upgrade.
So, my Motherboard (m5A78l/USB3) and CPU (fx 4300) died for good. I'm asking for your help choosing new parts that will allow my computer to resume gaming, and, since I currently got some money to spend, any upgrade recommendations will also be welcome in this thread. As stated in the title, I have a functional GPU, but intend to upgrade it next year, so I thank you and ask to keep that in mind for your parts recommendation.
A friend of mine convinced me to go for Intel. AMD setups are welcome, but some convincing will probably be necessary to make me change my mind.
Current parts:
MoBo:
CPU:
GPU: XFX R7 260x double d
HDD: 1TB WD Blue
RAM: 1 x 1333 Mhz 4GB Kingston (KVR13N9S8/4)
Power Supply: Corsair CX430
Wireless adapter (Wi-Fi)
This PC is intended for gaming latest games smoothly at medium settings at 30 FPS minimum, and is searching for the best bang for the buck, minimizing bottlenecks.
If any important information is missing, please ask!
Sorry if i made any mistakes, since this is my first time posting in the forum.
Thank you very much!
