Wishing a happy CNY everyone,
And as the new year roll in, my Asus RIVE died on me (again 3rd time, same ol common "powered but cannot boot up or POST" problem). I doubt it's still under warranty anymore and frankly speaking, I already lose quite the faith after the 2nd RMA and even more when the problem came back the 3rd time. You can check some of my older threads for complains but that's another issue.
Initially I tot of just getting another mobo with LGA2011 socket so that I can reuse my stuff. So I started off with some reading and found out that my 3930 is not compatible with the newer LGA2011-v3 sockets. (I could be wrong and would be extremely happy if someone who can correct me)
This means that I would need to get a new mobo bundle and I can go either 1150 or 2011. Would probably be getting a new GTX970 to replace my 670 so I may not be able to spend so much.
I can reuse my 850w PSU, RAMS, coolers and other stuff.
Is there any mobo bundle that I can look out for? Likely I will not be going 2SLI (may change in the future) so that's something to take into consideration. Also as I will be most likely stuck with the same setup for 3 years (unless individual parts failure).
Can you guys recommend me either:
1) A LGA2011 mobo bundle (I'm more inclined to go for LGA2011 but price is a big factor to me this time)
2) A LGA1150 mobo bundle
