Upgrading from Bad MOBO
okigeek
Just wanted some input before I go crazy and buy everything for this upgrade. Just found out my Mobo was bad so I am having to do major upgrade due to old cpu socket as well. I am buying everything at a local computer store just wanted to know what everyone thought about what I am putting together. I use it for gaming and some minor video editing. Items with * are what I have from the old system. Let me know if I am on the right track. Money really isn't an issue.
