Replacement help.

[Razanel]

So recently my motherboard died and possibly my CPU (will figure that one out tomorrow). I had an i5-2500k and a pz68 asus motherboard. Budget is not really an issue (will have about $350) and I would like to know if I should just replace those parts or get new ones. I do mostly gaming (Civ 5, Diablo 3, BF3, etc.) and a little video stuff (I mention Civ 5 because of how CPU reliant it is). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Those will work perfectly fine for those games.

Check and see if it's just your mobo if it is i recommend just getting new motherboard this is a good one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157264 and if you really want to floss like a big dog gigabyte finally came out with there 4 way board, not a bad price at all http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128552 if your mobo and cpu is dead then here is a good combo
MOBO CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.951181 sli/crossfire MOBO case you like to sli down the road.
