Hi all masters,

i was using the rig as below:

Mobo: Tuf B360M
CPU: Intel i5-8400 @2.8GHz 2808MHz
Ram: 2 x 8GB HyperX Fury
GPU: Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
SSD: Plexter 256GB
Storage: WD Blue 1TB


Unfortunately that my Mobo dead last few day, i was thinking should i get a new Mobo and Processor or Get a new PC?

Any recommendation if go for new motherboard and processor.

Thanks for advice

upgrade lo.. see whats your budget. lol

Have you tested for the other parts? If the only broken part is the motherboard, just find the replacement, but finding the old model is not an easy task.
My recommendation is to buy a brand new PC.

If replacement for both Motherboard and CPU was SGD500, as i working at SG.

New PC wise my budget will be SGD1500??

I tried to test myself and sent to shop for checking, after that they quote me the replacement for SGD390.

Now in a dilemma that should i upgrade or get a new one.

See if you can get these for the same amount of cash

Core i5-12400
MSI B760M-E DDR4 or MSI B760M-A Pro Wifi DDR4

A Pro is higher quality board.

There are LGA1151 mobos in SHopee Lazada, some are new mostly i think are refurb but got a bit of warranty. Cheaper to change mobo only if your sure its the only thing that died.

I have a z390m gaming mobo, used. It's my spare mobo. Pm if you are interested

It's either you replace the Mobo, which you can find easily on Shopee, or get a new system. with that budget, you can get a decent one

Usage? If the board failed you might want to get a cheap replacement board instead of a new platform upgrade

Replace the motherboard if you wish to save money. Do it yourself. It's not a rocket science project and quite simple to do it. 8th gen processor is still good to go for a couple of more years to come.

Hey!

Bummer about your motherboard biting the dust. Tough call between just swapping it and the CPU or going all in for a new PC.

If the rest of your setup's solid, maybe just replace the motherboard and CPU. Check out newer Intel or AMD processors and compatible motherboards that fit your budget.

But hey, if you've been itching for an upgrade, why not go all out for a new rig? Treat yourself to some shiny new components and build yourself a beast of a PC
