- Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3L-1866 UDIMM
I wanted to upgrade to play games like Battlefield 1 with my buds. Get to instaling the processor, doesnt fit. Turns out the specs Digital Storm listed on their website for the pre-built i bought in 2012 was accurate except one thing.... the motherboard is not a H61M-PLUS, its an Asus H81M-E. Alright no biggy, just return the processor and get a different one. I go to put the old one in and i messed up the pins on my motherboard. Shit. I need some opinions on what I should do. Should I buy a H61M-Plus? Or should I return the processor and buy another H81M-E to replace my broken one and then just upgrade my ram and graphics card. Thank you so much for reading through all of this, really and help is appreciated I am extremely bad with technical stuff.
