New Mobo and Processor needed -

The_Neep · 14 Dec 2010 at 16:23

Hi all,

New user, been lurking for a while not needing to post, until.. my motherboard had a hissy fit and died.

Now I'm just looking into buying a new motherboard and processor, not upgrading the graphics card for a while, currently have a HD4890.

Looking to spend between £200-£400.

Any recommendations would be appreciated as im fairly amature with motherboards and processors.

Cheers

Neep

Would be good to know more about your current system. For example, DDR2 or DDR3 RAM?

What RAM do you have? What was the one that died?
