Hello guys,

 

I built a pc a couple years ago and broke the pci e slot on my mobo a couple days ago. Was looking for another mobo thats an lga 1150 socket, z97 chipset, and has some space for a 2 slot gpu and 1x sound card for somewhere from 200-300$. I currently have a i7-4790k and a rtx 2070, with 16 gb of ddr3 ram. I looked on newegg and could only find a decent looking one for 285$ but the last 10 or so most recent reviews all say that it was doa. It was the MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5. any suggestions are appreciated.

If a replacement mobo is $285, you might as well get a new mobo/ram/cpu for ~$300

 

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($139.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($78.95 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory  ($67.98 @ Amazon)
Total: $286.92
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Slight FPS increase and greater multitasking/editing ability

 

Could also sell the ram/cpu to get a 3600

$300 for a motherboard of this age? You can spend less than $100 on eBay easily, just get anything with an I/O shield included, a lot of the Asus Z series boards are good choices (ran a Z97-AR myself for a long time)

when buying things on newegg/amazon/etc. ignore the reviews.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
