Built a PC over a decade ago for gaming and in the last year or so it's showing annoying problems related to hardware.
I mostly use it for email, web surfing and some gaming.
The components on the motherboard CPU, Graphics card etc. are:
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T processor 2.60 GHz
8 GB Corsair Vengeance memory
Radeon HD 6870 graphics card
Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack 1 64-bit
So I'd like to try a new motherboard with an AM3+ socket but the existing one is out of date and only available used at a ridiculous price.
My only question is would a newer motherboard work with the existing components, and if so, which one? (This where I'm unsure.)
Ideally would like it to boot up with few problems.
Thanks for any help.
