Basically, my motherboard is now fubared.
Given that it needs replacing, might as well upgrade it.
With a budget of £400ish, can you recommend me
a: a motherboard
b: processor
c: PCI-E graphics card
d: at least 3gb ram
I already have a newish Creative X-Fi gamer, as well as an Arctic 700w power supply.
I've always gone with AMD previously, although i'm not too fussy. I want something reasonably good for gaming and whatnot. The motherboard doesn't need onboard sound or graphics either, so i'd prefer to get one without.
Fankoo

not really. Not all games/apps can make real use of SLi to its full extent yet, and most tests have shown a decent card to be better quality than two not-so-good.
