Hello,
I was planning on changing of computer totally
But now, I'm considering of changing of motherboard/cpu instead (my cpu is real crap and my current motherboard can't support anything better than the current)
My motherboard currently has an expansion card linked to it with 4 usb 2.0 ports on top of my case (i'll show pictures later)
I'd like to know, what exactly am I supposed to look for in a motherboard specs to keep those 4 usb port?
Next to these port are the headphone/speaker and microphone port, so I'd like to keep them as well
Also, when I look on PCPartPicker, I don't see a lot of usb port on motherboards, do I need to look at something else? expansion card or something like that?
I have a MicroTower, I'd like to know if ALL micro tower support ALL MicroATX motherboard
I need to know everything I need to know about motherboard
I know only the very basics, like that I need to check the number of RAM slots and the CPU chipset compatiblity
But about PCIe, I don't know anything, what is the difference between PCIe x16, x8, x4, x1?
What do I need to run a single GPU?
What do I need to run a HDD and a SDD?
What do I need to run a BD reader/writer?
etc etc
Every information is welcome before I buy one
Thanks
