Need advice

[magnitude]

I have an i5 750 rig. But my mobo just died. I was wondering if i should get a seconds mobo for my i5 750 or i should just get a budget combo like intel g3258+mobo?

Are there any significant improvement at all if i upgrade to a latest tech but somewhat budget? If not i should find a seconds mobo.

Might be good to tell us what other components you can salvage so that we can recommend you the correct models of mobo to go for

if just base on ur cpu.. its still pretty good.. if u could get a new cheap mb or a good 2nd hand its good to go..
but for the other parts of ur pc.. till u give us ur spec..

Bought budget also in 2009-2010 i think.

GPU - Palit GTS 250
RAM - Unknown module 4GB
PSU - Andyson 500w 80+ Bronze

The performance increment to a new budget combo not much from i5 750? Hard to find the lga1156 seconds mobo now.

if not then u have get a new rig.
gts 250... now low.
4gb ram.. now 64bit no use
andyson if u wan to get a new card.. u might have to upgrade that.
but if.. u dont really game alot or hard processing..
ur rig is still pretty good.. if u can a MB..

My brother using i7 950 and i'm using i7 3770K performance difference is quite a big margin.

If you cannot find 2nd mobo for your chipset. Then i suggest you look out for i5 3470 + Z77/H77 or i5 2500 sandy bridge series or so 2nd hand bundle around the forums if you want a nifty lil upgrade.

Thanks. If I change to a latest i5, I can only salvage my HDD? Are the new MOBO usually backward compatible with old GPU like my palit gts 250?

Also can I still use my old PSU since the new generation CPUs have lower power consumption? Assuming I am using my old GPU card?
