Replacing Motherboard

[Voc]

Ok, I bought a prebuilt compaq off of someone for real cheap. It has a s939 sempron in it but since the motherboard bios has no options i cant do any OC with it.

This is what I want to do. Buy a S939 MB and swap out all the parts. I would like for the board to have PCIe.

Any suggestions?

Budget? System specs?

 

[Voc]

the specs on the compaq are in the sig its the backup comp.

budget doesnt matter but a mobo shouldnt cost too much. i have hdds and ram so i dont need that. Ill prob get a good pcie gpu also.

[ASUS A8R-MVP [RX200CF] ($95.99) will do a good job

So i shouldnt have any problems swapping parts even though the computer is a compaq?

Thanks again for the help.

Link didnt work but i looked it up on newegg. Is that the crossfire board? Was planning on getting a 7800 for the gpu.

Yes it is a crossfire board and no, getting a 7800GT doesnt affext anything

wait!! Compaq boards IIRC are ALL micro ATX so the A8R MVP WILL NOT fit. Buy a Geforce 6150 based micro ATX board.

Yeah lol be hard to fit a atx board in one of those cramped compaq cases. Thankfully i have a spare case lying around.

Thanks for the advice.
