[DIY] Need Intro on gaming rig

[mibs88]

Hi, my 2yr old rig got problem and after going to the svr center multiple times problem on the MB still comes back.

Was using Asrock B75 - pro 3m, went to svr center 3 times, all within 1 week MB unable to boot or keep restarting. Gave up going there as the traveling time and cost too wasteful.

Looking into Gigabyte MB as previous rig used for 5yrs.

still workable with these, looking to add on ram with another set 4xgb ram and maybe a SSD.
i5-3470 processor
4gb X 2 kingston hyper x
geforce gtx 660 twin frozr - gfx
1TB toshiba HDD
seasonic 620w PSU.

anyone can intro gigabyte MB - usage streaming videos and mostly playing LoL.

Wa, bit hard to find LGA 1155 mobos in SLS nowadays. If you want a Gigabyte LGA 1155 mobo, can go ask Tradepac for a Gigabyte B75M-D3V ($100) or go to Bizgram and ask for a Gigabyte B75M-D3V or a B75M-HD3 (Both at $106).

Can also go to the other shops and ask for LGA 1155 mobo, they may have not put these mobos on their price list.

Don't think that you need more RAM, though.

Well, any other brands also gt same % chance of failing. Not say asrock only last 2 yrs, asus can last 10 yrs w/o breaking a sweat.

agree but with the rate of visiting svr center during a short period of time, i believe that explain y my confidence for this brand has drop to the lowest.

as i've used and many frens reviewed that gigabyte is more durable, that y im looking back at this brand.

what im looking for is the after sales service or even better dunnit to visit them that often during short period of time.

Then, MSI or giga shld fit the bill.
