Hi my motherboard I think has died so its time to upgrade only the motherboard and CPU.
 
Now I have £316 for all this does anyone know which is the best bang for the buk for CPU and motherboard?
 
This for 1080p gaming and video encoding ie video converter and light aftereffects work. Nothing 4k just 1080p.
 
I have DDR 3 memory and 550 power supply. I have a case and SSD hard drive. I would like this motherboard to have wifi and Bluetooth built in. So what cpu do you think I should get?
 
Can some help me pick the best cpu and motherboard. I am coming from Haswell-WS.

You'd be very seriously limiting the possible mobos available to you, you're not going to be getting anywhere near bang-for-buck mobo with a demand like that. Besides, a discrete PCI-E WiFi-card isn't expensive.

Sell the DDR3 to make up for the difference, or buy the CPU cooler later.

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
