    Cool, thanks for your help!

    So will the RAM I originally posted still work with all of those motherboards?

    No. You will need DDR3 RAM, which is cheaper! Go for Corsair really good and cheap RAM

    I'm glad I was of some help. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

    AMD Athlon, FX Series etc
    Just FYI - if you decide to update your rig read up on the issues people have with AMD processors and Audio software first

    I'd stick with intel.

    Maybe a Haswell processor? That way you aren't buying an outdated motherboard too, and you'll get a little more processing power out of it vs Ivy Bridge.

    Intel > AMD any day of the week any day, and also I didn't know that. Thanks

    If I was to get that one, would the motherboards that Daily Crisis has listed still be okay?

    If you need to replace your motherboard, processor and memory, you'd probably be better off going with one of the bundle deals offered by various companies - this way all the components are already matched and in some cases, pre-assembled (like at overclockers.co.uk)

    Can work out cheaper bang-for-buck too.

    Yes. Only sometimes though.

    And Dean, no they won't. it's a different socket. The mother boards I listed are Socket 1155 motherboards, and for this processor you need an 1150 Socket.
