Hi guys, below is my setup since Dec 2014 and unfortunately the Asrock mobo decided to give up right after the warranty expired on Dec 2017.. I'm newbie in pc hardware so i need a suggestion whether to replace the mobo or an upgrade for future proof. Budget RM500~RM1000+ depend if it is worth the upgrade or just replace mobo. If it is an upgrade, I think i will recover around RM600 (processor & 2x ram)? and no idea what to do with the dead mobo

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jan 25 2018, 02:54 PM) Budget is low. Just replace your B85 motherboard https://www.lelong.com.my/catalog/all/list?TheKeyword=B85 https://www.lelong.com.my/gigabyte-ga-h97-h...7-01-Sale-I.htm https://www.lelong.com.my/catalog/all/list?...Z97+motherboard QUOTE(R3b0rn @ Jan 26 2018, 04:02 PM) Go for H97 platform boards. Try this? Asus Gamer Pro H97 Thanks for those suggestion but after looking around online and i'm still unsure which one to get.. Alternatively, if you don't want to spend more on Mobo and willing to sitck with b85 try this MSI B85 gaming 43 Happy gaming. Since it is not an upgrade so i decided to go for the "OK" and most durable one to last for another few years (even the asrock failed on me) And i'm not really into gaming nowadays so might as well save the money from gaming mobo? Lowyat garage sales or taobao do have second hand stuff but i'm worry about its condition. Didn't plan to overclock but this is the cheapest (new condition) 97 board I can find: https://www.lelong.com.my/msi-z97-pc-mate-a...7-01-Sale-I.htm So what do you guy think?
