Got home from work yesterday to my gf telling me the pc won't go on, lo and behold the mobo is dead!

Of course this is a few weeks after I spent money getting a new gfx card and more RAM!!:mad:

Well I'm looking for a CPU, Mobo and a new case as my Akasa Eclipse is getting a bit battered now.

I have around about £300 to spend on the upgrade, and this is what I've found so far:

i5 3350p
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
Antec P-280

comes to about no competitor price hinting. Thank you. :)


The only one I think I'm set on is the case as I really like how silent it seems, but if anyone has a better upgrade path I'd love the help! :p

Rest of spec:

GTX 660
OCZ 128GB SSD
Corsair 520W PSU
Corsair XMS DDR3 8GB 1600 MHZ
Arcic cooling freezer 7 rev.2
3 other internal HDDs


Only other thing is I'm currently using a PCI-Express sound card purely for the spdif output, so any mobo with that included would be great as I could get rid of that card!

Cheers for reading :D

Oh and I would be overclocking, but nothing crazy :)
