As the title says im searching for a motherboard to get.

my old one is the factory lg775 motherboard and standard intel core 2 duo processor

the only changes I have made to the build is the graphics card and added a solid state hard drive and put it all in a temporary case.


The last of my purchases is going to be power supply, case , motherboard/cpu/ram (preferrably those 3 at once)

My games aren't very demanding (swtor, wow, hearthstone) but i like to have the power if i want it


budget prefferred is under 200 for the motherboard/cpu then go from there. I just don't know what to shop for in regards to size, spechs, processor i should look for (was advised to just get a quad core instead of i5, or i7 series)

I don't know what vid card you bought, so I had to guess at the power supply...it's a good one, and made by Seasonic....

I wasnt sure if you wanted a large or small case, side window, and price range.. also wether you wanted a themed setup or not....

i went with black and red themed, however i know case is all about personal preference in the end of it all..

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear I apologize

for now I am focusing on simply the motherboard/cpu to buy, along with 2 good ram choices. the power supply i have now is just stock idk what size it is to be honest or how to find out


I haven't decided on a theme, this is my first custom build
