System is in sig.
I had a storm the other day at the house and my pc was on. Needless to say the surge killed my router as well as my pc. I tested the power supply and it tests good so I think it's the motherboard. Just looking for general ideas on what you would do in this situation. I could get just a motherboard and put all my parts in it. One issue is my processor. When new it would easily got to 3.2GHz. Over the years it's slowly having issues and can only do around 2.8GHz or so stable. So, I was thinking to get a new mobo and cpu. I wouldn't be able to go latest and greatest unless I bought RAM though because mine is DDR2.
Unless there is an amazing bundle out there with mobo/cpu/RAM??
I would like to keep roughly these prices if I went with all new.
mobo - <150
cpu - <150
RAM - <75 for at least 4GB
Any opinions?
