Hi guys, I need some help here. As my rig is more than 5 years old and my mobo recently got struck by lightning, I guess it's time for me to "move on" and get a new one. My current rig is running in:

i5 750 2.67ghz (32bit)
ATI HD4870
16gb ram

Bold means I am hoping it can stay if is possible, italic means I know it's gonna get going.

[Hardware that will be reuse from old rig] Keyboard mouse, HDD, monitor

[Monitor resolution] 1900x1200

[Game or software that use frequently] HoN, COD, Diablo 3, photo and video editing

[Personal Preference Brand] Nvidia please

My mobo condition is like few USB port is failing me, my unifi port is dead and one of my ram slot is dead as well. As for my GC, it is really old and I wanted to have a change to keep up the current game settings. So should I be fixing it or get a new mobo and a GC?

Thank you in advance..

GC: ATI HD4870
MOBO: P7P55D
Proc: i5 750 2.6ghz
Ram: 8GB

Since you mentioned that my proc is too old, then maybe GC, MOBO and Processor have to go. :/

It's 5 year old rig already so I am intend to change a new one.

OFF TOPIC: Do anyone happen to know any place that offers cheap service for repairing the mobo? In case is too expensive to get a new rig maybe I'll just fix all the faulty parts and be done with it instead of burning a huge hole in my wallet. :/

My PSU should be more than enough as it is 700w. And I am looking for around RM500 or lower due to budget problem.

Any Nvidia recommendation? And preferably without OC.

Sorry for having so many question, but what game can I play on with that GC? And is that GC compatible with P7P55D?

EDIT: If I were to build a PC with 1.5k budget, can anyone recommend me the specs? PSU (700w) can reuse, not planning to buy any additional HDD, DVD driver. And hopefully can reuse the RAM.

Thanks in advance.

Really? I thought the sequence was i7 / i5 / i3 / Xeon® / Pentium® / Celeron®

That helped alot. Thanks guys!

One last question, if my GC suddenly die, means I can't use my PC at all since there's no backup GC available, right?

Any sifu can answer me pls pls.. ><

But Xeon E3 1230 v3 got no IGP right? So is it gonna be functional like normal when my GC suddenly malfunction?

Mobo-Asrock B85M-HDS

This MOBO uses what ram? 1333 or?
