Hello,
my motherboard on my pc recently went to poop.
I'm either looking to replace it or get a different mobo that might work better.
The mobo that I had was a MSI 760gm-E51 : http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-E51.html
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2 Ghz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103921
Memory: 8 gb G-skill DDR3 RAM 1600 mhz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Graphics card: WAS a radeon HD 5670, I bought (and have) a radeon HD 7870 and I want to use my 7870 instead of the 5670 - this is one of the main reasons I'm posting. Not sure if my old mobo will still support it. :http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Edition-1000MHz-Graphics-FX787ACNFC/dp/B007MJGMXQ/
PSU: Corsair CX500 ( JUST bought this so if I need to get a better one let me know.) : www.amazon.com/Corsair-500-Watt-Certified-Compatible-Platforms/dp/B004W2T2U6/
and I use a 7200 rpm 1 tb hard drive and a dvd +rw
So yeah, basically I would like to know if my old mobo ( a fresh, not shorted-out one) would work with this new setup, or if I need to get a new mobo. Leave suggestions please!
Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
(edit forgot a couple of important things)
-I don't care about overclocking. At all.
-I am looking to spend under $120. THe less, the better, as long as it runs well with my parts.
