https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/?compatible_with=vxBv6h There are SO many compatible with my Thor 2 tower that I have NO clue what to get.
I can start by saying I am doing a gaming build with my son and have so far done well except with the motherboard - I've not rebuild since Win98! hahaha
While it is an i7 it's an older generation so it's not compatible - I didn't think this through, I took a gamble it would be.
I'd like the motherboard (and also will I need a new Processor too?) to come under 300 if possible.
What he's playing: Fortnite and Minecraft and other games that are high FPS needy. We are using Cat7 ethernet but he'd like the WiFi option too.
New parts
Thor V2 ATX Full Tower
Rosewill Capstone 850M PSU
GEforce GTX 1070 8 gb
RAM slots are filled already
500 gig Samsung V-Nano 850 EVO
used from his old mini-tower
500 gig HDD (using for backup - older was existing in unit)
DVD (was existing unit)
