Hello!
About a year ago, a thunderstorm was raging outside, and in the morning my computer wouldn't turn on. Recently, i have had the problem diagnosed and the motherboard is the only dead part. (the processor was tested and it workes)
My dead motherboard:
MSI H67MA-E35
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4DR48d/msi-motherboard-h67mae35b3
other parts:
CPU:
Intel Core i5-2500
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...5-2500-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-70-ghz.html
GPU:
MSI radeon r9 390 gaming 8gb
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ymqbt6/msi-video-card-r9390gaming8g
RAM:
8GB kit(2x4) Crucial Ballistix Sport Series DDR3-1600, cl9
Power sup:
Corsair Builder series CX500
500W
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hgGkcf/corsair-power-supply-cx500
The problem I am having is, that I can't find a motherboard that has the LGA1155 cpu socket and DDR3 memory type.
Is this configuration simply so old that no seller is selling such a motherboard anymore and i am forced to upgrade?
Also if i do upgrade should i go for DDR4 ram or keep the old one?
If i do upgrade, i am ready to spend around 300€ ~~ $340 (for the motherboard, cpu and ram)
Do u have any recommendations?
What do u think of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor perhaps?
Thank you in advance!
