I was looking to purchase a mobo for my pc because the old motherboard that I had fried. I am looking for a lga1155 Motherboard as to which my cpu requires. I was thinking on an extreme four but I think it's a little bit out of my budget. If that's really what I need then I will do that. If you could think of one the might work that would be great. My specs: GTX 1050ti gpu, 4x2 4Gb ddr3 ram, Intel Core i7 3770k lga1155, EVGA Supernova 650g psu.
 


The Z77 Extreme 4 is a very good board I have one with a 2500K in it.
Their all going to cost you because their at the end of life and no longer made.
 
I'm not sure I know what you mean. Are you asking if the cpu was in the computer when it had fried or are you asking if it's out of the computer now?

 
I was looking at this motherboard previously and I was thinking that it would be worth the purchase. Is it really though? I don't really have much experience with older motherboards as I have had only newer ones. I know that this one has some bad reviews saying that this motherboard had shorted out and gone bad quickly, are these things true?

 

I'm not sure if the psu had died. It was the audio jacks that had caught fire. I took out everything right after it had happened and I don't have another computer to check it with. Any suggestions to find out?
 


Prior to this event there was a bad memory slot and the GPU slots were not working. I checked the capacitors and none of them were bulging and I don't really know what to check other than that. Any help?
