So I have some parts left over from a previous build I want to-reuse in a another machine.
I have a hard drive (WD 1 TB Caviar Black, XFX 5770 video card, Corsair 750tx PSU, case, optical drive and 8 GB of this memory: http://products.ncix.com/detail/corsair-xms3-cmx4gx3m2a1600c9-4gb-ddr3-da-42530.htm
I also have a ASUS LGA 1156 motherboard, but no processor.
It'll cost like $250 max to get a i5 750 for that dead socket
I'm just wondering if I'm better off getting a new mobo/processor instead and if the performance will be equal or better for $250. Also, what I should look at getting?
Also, will that RAM work with newer boards? I don't want to have to buy new RAM as well.
