Tips on upgrading a motherboard?
I have been giving my PC some serious upgrades lately including a new case the Antec 902 (great case). The next step I believe is upgrading my motherboard and processor. I dont know the basic things to consider when upgrading these, also what is the best brands and are there different types. I am most likely going to be buying from Newegg.com so if you want to link me some pages from there that would be great!
Thanks for your time, Faline Farwell |

What will you be doing with the machine and is there a limit on how much you want to spend? Likely you'll need to upgrade the memory as well as the motherboard and processor.

Heavy work in Maya and gaming. I have picked these out that are compatible I believe. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16819103894 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ID=fnh65h3b531x |

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16819103894 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ID=fnh65h3b531x I would suggest these instead. The additional two cores will make a substantial difference in rendering performance. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16819103849 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16813130290 As for the memory, maybe these. The board will take up to 16GB which would cost about $180, or $90 for 8GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820233132 __________________
