Have to rebuild my computer.
Rebuilding my computer.
My Gigabyte motherboard took a dump. So, since I build my own computers I never have to buy a new one again!
Out will go the Gigabyte GA-970UD3, Athlon X3 455 and 16 GB of ddr3 memory.
Looks like in will go an MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon, Ryzen 3 1200 processor and 16 GB of DDR4 memory--$378.97 from Newegg. I'll be checking Amazon prices before the order if final. Later I'll be replacing my EVGA GTS 250 with a GTX 1050ti graphics card and I should be good to go.
I believe in getting yesterday's killer components at a sizable discount rather that paying three times more to be an unpaid beta tester for the trendiest products. I picked all the components for Linux compatibility and it looks great.
Wish me luck. Surprises lurk when you build new stuff...... Not all the surprises are necessarily good.
