Ok, so 1 of my 2GB DDR2 RAM sticks got fried some how so now I need to buy a replacement stick of RAM, been looking at the prices and DDR3 RAM is a bit cheaper overall it seems.
So now it has got me thinking of buying a new motherboard that will support my current Intel Quad Core Q8300 and DDR3 RAM, reason for this is that next year I may look at upgrading my CPU so if I buy the RAM this year it will ease the finances next year when I come to upgrading the CPU.
I am aware the motherboard will have to be replaced when I get round to upgrading my CPU next year. So with that in mind I wont be spending a lot on one right now if I do decide to get the DD3 RAM.
Are any of the motherboards listed any here any good?
Scan.co.uk: Intel G41 / G43 / G45 / Q45
I would like to be able to overclock but that isn't a deal breaker if I cannot.
EDIT: oops about title
My current specs are:
Foxconn G31MX-K motherboard, Intel Q8300, 2GB (was 4GB) DDR2 RAM, GTX 560ti, 520W Antec PSU, Windows 7 64 bit
