motherboard's

[Farmer Mick]

ive had a lot of problems with my pc all caused by the motherboard so im looking to get a new one simply because there is nothing wrong with the rest of my computer and i don't have enough to buy a new pc

im looking for preferabbly a good motherboard bundle (mobo + cpu) because i don't want to do all the fiddly stuff, if you know of any deals or sites that can offer this for under £150. that would be appreciated

has to be UK please

Umm, need a little more information. Like what else is in your computer? How many PCI, PCI-E slots do you need? What memory is in your current machine? Your current motherboard/cpu would help. Budget?

[Farmer Mick]

gfx card = ati radeon 5670

What kind of RAM do you have? Unless you want to buy new RAM as well you will have to check if the RAM you have is compatible with any motherboard you plan to buy.

EDIT: found this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-Phenom-Triple-Core-Motherboard-Bundle-Upgrade-Kit-/390216876510?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item5adabd01de) is this, any good ??

current MOBO dimensions are 24.4cmx19.6 whereas ^ is 24.4 x 21.4 does this matter??


they also do a quad core (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-Phenom-Quad-Core-Motherboard-Bundle-Upgrade-Kit-NEW-/390216875804?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item5adabcff1c)

Perfect Bundle, quad core, good mobo and 2GB ram! And it also fits your current GPU, also, what PSU do you have?

Also, for mobo dimensions is completely depends on how big your case is, so I would get the dimensions of your current mobo, then cross compare with other ones :)

Look at overclockers if you want a bundle, but better to get things seperate.

EDIT: i just found it (http://shop.aktiscomputing.co.uk/atrix-9003---c34-silver-black-atx-midi-tower-case-520-watt-power-supply-305-p.asp) even though it took me all day

it says it supports all boards up to 244 mm so does it not matter what the width is??

[Farmer Mick]

i think i am going to go with this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-Phenom-Quad-Core-Motherboard-Bundle-Upgrade-Kit-NEW-/390216875804?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item5adabcff1c) seems like good value for money and looks to do what i need it to do
