MoBo just broke, need advice on new MoBo
Post Body

Recently my motherboard broke when I was installing my new AMD FX 8350 processor, so now I'm not sure if I want to do a full rebuild or just get a new board for my gaming rig.

Current Specs:

  • Amd FX-8350
  • XFX Radeon GTR 480 8GB GPU
  • Corsair CX550 power supply
  • Digital Storm 8GB DDR3 RAM
  • Digital Storm Case

So, I just bought the FX 8350, but since my board is toast, I am debating on switching to an Intel board and then selling the old processors.

Should I keep the 8350, or go Intel? And either way, what board should I buy?

I'm not against upgrading to DDR4 if I have to, but I don't want to spend more than $500.
