Mobo : Dell optiplex 790 MT
Pcu: Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4 ghz
GPU: Invidia Geforce GTX1050 Ti
PSU: corsair 550W
Ram: 16GB DDR2
I need to replace my motherboard mainly because its giving me weird problems with my ram. I can only use 8GB of ram right now because it gives me 1 and 3 lights when i try to run anymore than 8GB of ram and wont start. Ive had this problem before so I replaced the ram and it was working fine for awhile until it started acting up again recently.
I need to at least replace my motherboard. I was hoping to find one that I could upgrade to newer gpu/cpu when I have the money but a Mobo that can still use my old hardware in the meantime.
What do you recommend that I do? Its black friday now's the time to upgrade everything although I dont want to spend more than $300 . If i was to buy a new mobo what one should I get? Or should I just use the money and just buy a refurbished PC somewhere and just put my GPU in it. If so which refurbished PC should I buy that is compatible with my gpu? Any advice is appreciated. I just want to run modern games as my rig struggles a bit since the PCU is really old.
thanks in advance.
