I would like to replace my motherboard and keep the CPU.
Intel® Desktop Board DH61WW - http://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh61ww.html ( this is what I have now. )
My specs are i3-2100, 560 IT 448, 850w PSU XFX ( Yes i know its an overkill, I plan on keeping this for a lot of upgrades wanted some headroom). Also the motherboard which I linked before. Oh and 16GB of elite teamgroup ram 1600 mhz dual channel.
Onto the problem and why I want to replace, but keep the CPU. The I3 does what I want it to in gaming wise with the GPU, It runs everything nicely. The problem is the GPU blocks two sata ports meaning I have 2, which is bad for me I can only my two hard drives, it stops me from using maybe an SSD boot drive and a Blu-ray drive. I would also like to add an sound card and a network card if poss.
What I would like out of the motherboard - Better placed sata ports also some sata 3 if poss. So the GPU ( dual slot ) does not block two of them.
So, I would like a slot to run my GPU off. A slot for a sound card maybe a network card. Also dual I run dual ram so don't worry about that, Also one that can run 1600 mhz, because I can only get 1333 mhz. ( Not too bothered but if you can awesome )
So yeah, anymore info needed please say, I do miss out important things a lot, with out thinking about it. So yes, if you awesome people can suggest me some it would help a lot! I don't really want to go over £75.
