what motherboard and psu should i buy.

[Kyle_138]

So my pc stopped working on my gaming pc, the fan in the psu case stopped working weeks ago, then last night it kept shutting off. Now it wont turn on.

So I'm planning on replacing both the motherboard and psu.

my system specs are:

cpu: amd fx 6300
mobo: ASUS m5a99fx pro r2.0
Gpu: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 Dual‑X OC with Boost
the currant psu came with the raidmax case.
Psu: raidmax thunder v2 535w

Im happy with the way m pc performs on most games so I don't want to upgrade more than needed.

my budget is around $200.

what mobo should I get? or should I get a identical one? and what psu will be the most efficient replacement.

thanks for any recommendations I appreciate it.

EVGA G2 are some decent units that go for 80 bucks for a 550W unit. Don't think you'll consume more than that.

Motherboard I personally like Gigabyte's 990FXA series, think a 990FXA-UD3 R5 is around $100

Hi Kyle

That Raidmax does not have a very good rating and barely meets Bronze certification.
Really no point changing the MB if it's functioning OK.
Replace the PSU with an EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2 80+ GOLD Certification and Fully Modular.
At $100 approx its worth the investment and they don't come better.
