Hi all,
Not built a PC since the one in the title many years ago so after some help please.
Currently have an ASRock P67 Pro3 with 2500k - GT 1030, 16g ram (DDR3)
My issue is that the ASRock P67 Pro3 seems to be failing or has support issues with Windows 10. It crashes at least once a day so I am thinking of upgrading. Apart from that its fine for what I use it for.
At the moment I don't game at all so I really only need something of comparable performance.
Do I switch completely and go for a B450 MB with something like Ryzen 3200g for now giving me plenty of scope for upgrading later. This should be a relatively cheap upgrade (< £250ish) especially if I can then get 40 quid back by selling the GT 1030.
or
Do I get replacement MB for the 2500k? But what can I get now? Is there anything new that supports a 2500k and DDR3 or is second hand my only option? Will Windows 10 support still be an issue? if second hand what MB models should I consider?
Any thoughts.
Thanks
Andy
