Hi guys, I tried searching online, but it's impossible to find current info on such old equipment.
Hoping someone on here can offer some advice.
I have an old desktop running an AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition, some old ddr2 ram on a Gigabyte motherboard. It got pretty flaky lately, so I'd like to update it a bit.
I was planning to update the motherboard and Ram to DDR3.
I'd like to reuse the 965 since it overclocks well and is still in good shape. Biggest issue is finding a motherboard that works with this processor.
I can't seem to find any current offerings for this cpu with on-board graphics.
Can anyone recommend a good board that will work.
I mainly want ddr3 ram, lots of sata ports and usb 3.0, 3.1 and an possibly an m2 ssd port.
I don't really want to have to buy a graphics card since at that point I might be better off spending the money on a new cpu so I have more motherboard choices.
This computer is just a basic desktop, office software, Photoshop, music. I don't need high performance graphics, just 1080 resolution and peppy program loading and access to my hdds.
