MOBO Upgrade

[juandelrey]

Hello,
I am hoping to replace my Asus Essentio CM5671 MOBO with one that offers overclocking. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are going to have to list your components so we can know what you have and if your cpu can be overclocked.
Cpu , psu , ram , video card , power supply , hdd , motherboard.

Cpu Intel Pentium E5500 @ 2.8

The issue that you have is that the Lga 775 technology is older and being phased out and there is not much of a selection of motherboards. You may want to consider a cpu and motherboard upgrade , but it will depend on what you want to spend for this. You could do a cpu ,MB and video card upgrade and have a much better Pc. This is all dependent on what you want to do with your Pc and how far you want to go so let us know what you want and we'll work on that.
