Hello everyone,

The short version of this is, my girlfriend's pc's motherboard has crapped out, I am trying to save it and I need suggestions on another motherboard that would fit these specs. If you guys want I wouldn't mind some suggestions on what to salvage and what not to as well. I kind of would like to put this into a smaller case, right now the case is massive and gets in the way.

If you can Find a LGA 1156 MB don't hesitate too long they are getting hard to find.

But check it has 4 Memory Slots
The Cooler Will fit ok and not restrict access to Ram slots if its a smaller board

All the rest of your generic components should work in what ever MB you can Get.
