Hello,
I have started using this site more and more because there seem to be very knowledgeable people on here that are way more specialized than me. That being said, I built my PC about 2.5 years ago and I seem to be having issues with my motherboard with the RAM slots and just something I think with my current setup would be my next logical step in upgrading my computer.
Here are my specs:
Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Lifetime Warranty
Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Hard Drive ST31500341AS - 7200RPM, 32MB Cache, SATA-3G
Intel Core i5 750 Processor - 2.66GHz, LGA 1156, 8MB L3 Cache, Quad-Core
Asus P7P55D LE Motherboard - Intel P55, Socket LGA1156, Core i5, 2133MHz, DDR3
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 XMS 8GB DDR3 RAM - PC10666, 1333MHz, 2x 4GB (Got this last week, still trying to get Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit to recognize the full 8, only does 4 and so does my BIOS) Another topic for another time lol
Cooler Master Hyper N520 Copper Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Sapphire DIRT 3 EDITION Radeon HD 6950 2 GB DDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100312-3SR
What I am looking for:
I believe in having a good PC and will spend a little extra if it is worth it. When I first built my PC I wasn't doing as much and didn't have as much income so needed to be more frugal. I am now budgeting about 100 bucks every 2-3 months that I can spend on my PC. Its been about that time and I would like to get a new motherboard. I know putting a cap is never fun when going for dream motherboards. So if you want, go for the gusto using my specs as to what you would do if money was no object, then maybe follow it up with something around 200 bucks. It can be less or more, I just like options
Thank you for looking and if you feel so inclined, let me know your suggestions. Plus I am not here to limit you, so if you think of anything else you would switch out feel free. It's fun to see what different people like and what their experiences are. Good luck and thanks
