I've been having issues with installing anything on my HDD, I've changed the SATA cables multiple times, bought a new HDD, and completely reinstalled windows multiple times, and it still continues to have trouble installing/installing incorrectly and causing Windows to crash a lot. This leads me to think that the motherboard is the problem, as sometimes it won't even boot depending on what SATA port I have plugged in (lately it even has trouble booting from CD drive).
My question is, am I correct that the motherboard is the problem? And should I upgrade it?
However, if I get a new motherboard, I should also upgrade my cpu as it's old. and my gpu is also pretty old, but that one I might hold off on because it doubles my price. Here the pcpartpicker I made for the upgrades (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xhrGnn), I'd like to know if these are quality parts I should consider upgrading to, or if I should even upgrade at all.
Currently I have the Biostar ta870u3+ motherboard that has AM3 socket, Phantom II X4 965 processor, gtx 550ti gpu.
