Question I NEED A NEW MOBO !!!

[GGFast2019]

I have a MSI-7525 mobo and at first I was just going to get a new processor , some ram and a graphics card but there were so many limitations. It doesn't support quad-core CPU's , it only supports up to 4gb of ram (with only 3.24 gb's usable) , and the graphic's card I don't even want to get started on.

So I was wondering if someone knew a mobo with the same components but I don't want an LGA775 Socket and it would be nice if I could keep the DDR2 but with 4 slots instead of 2.

LGA 775 was the last intel socket to use DDR2 ram, it is also 15 years old so finding any new stock will be almost impossible.

Your best bet is a finding a cheap used system intel gen 2 to gen 4 range on ebay or going for a AMD ryzen build.

Why not build a new PC?
Ryzen 2600X is 119$.

OK what about DDR3 Ram

LGA 775 was the last intel socket to use DDR2 ram, it is also 15 years old so finding any new stock will be almost impossible.

What's your budget?

 

[logainofhades]

I wouldn't invest any money into such ancient hardware. What is your budget?

 

[GGFast2019]

Well since I'm only 14 and don't make a lot of money I only have about $200 to spend unless I can go onto ebay and get some ppl to lower prices for hardware

Then ebay is your best bet. Big companies sell 3rd and 4th gen i7 systems for really cheap like 100$.
You just need a GPU and make sure the PSU will run it.

Some have SSD too. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Dell-Optipl...148688?hash=item21676d7a10:g:9k4AAOSwrTFd8W3Z

Yeah That's what I also needed to get a new PSU because mine is a 250 watt and I wanted to get a 400 watt or 500 watt

Yeah I saw a bunch of those Before I decided to upgrade my Desktop I was thinking about getting one of those

Be sure to get a motherboard with PCIE if you get those ebay computers also a full sized desktop is better.

Forget the one I posted it only have integrated graphics, no PCIE slot.

This one is better i7 4770 with PCIE slot, you can also make a best offer:

If this is just for motherboard, cpu, and ram, this would work better than anything that old.

If you need a whole system, I would look probably look at newegg, for refurb office pc. Just don't get a mini tower.
