Hey guys. It would seem my motherboard on my PC has decided to go bad and if I can't get it going again, I'll be needing a new PC. I built this one from scratch 10 years ago as a gaming PC for about $1000. However, PC parts have advanced a ton and I have not kept up with it all. I don't really game much on my PC anymore. Once I got a Xbox 360 and now a PS4, I've never really gone back except for the random game or two. However, I do Photoshop image editing and some video editing, so I still want something decent. At least as good as I have now. I'm hoping to not have to spend more than $500 on a new computer.
Here's what I currently have:
Mobo: nvidia nforce 590 sli
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 something or other (I don't recall the number that came after that, I'm thinking 5000 something)
RAM: 4 x 1 GB DDR2
GPU: nvidia GeForce 8600 gt
HDD: 2 x 500 GBs
Any suggestions on what to look for? I'm hoping to just buy a preassembled PC.
