Looking for half-a-PC quick.

Hawick · February 9, 2020

My current PC has just died. I need a new PC urgently. I currently have like $500 budget. That's all I've got. Later I'll have more but as of right now this is it. I'll save up for a good video card and 64GB ram later. Now I only need a motherboard, a cpu and a power supply. 3 components. But I want it to be up to date and really good - if that is possible at all with $500 budget, lol.

Budget: $500

I already have:

- Case

- Blu-Ray Drive

- Samsung 500GB SATA3 SSD

- HDD

- Windows 10 x64

- A lame video card that I can use temporarily until I buy a new one.

What I need:

1.) A dope-ass motherboard that supports:

- DDR4 ram with 3000Mhz speed support and dual channel but preferably quad channel setup

- 64GB ram max

- some great built-in audio chip such as the "Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 7". It has on-board Sound Blaster chip. I need something like that.

- M.2 SSD

- Gigabit Ethernet

- Windows 10 OS

- UEFI

- Built-in WIFI (this one isn't important, the rest are, tho)

2.) A great i7 mid-range CPU (It can also be an i7 equivalent AMD but I'd prefer Intel please) that supports:

- 64GB RAM (3000Mhz speed should be supported)

- Hyperthreading

- x64 Windows 10 OS

3.) A reliable MODULAR powersupply 500W+.

That's all the components I need. I don't need RAM as of yet. I'll just buy 1 ram stick to start off with but RAM and the rest of the components aren't important now.

Thank you very much.
