07-11-2015 7:48pm#1Hi all,
further to thread here it appears mobo/cpu dead so upgrade required.
Head is dizzy over last few days trying to sift through all the forums/combinations/reviews :eek:
Base machine is a Dell 630i with a MSI N660 Ti 2gd5/OC graphics card which will be reused.
All indicators are that a full ATX board is required, given the quirky nature of Dell cases.
It's the brothers machine & will be used primarily for Autocad video rendering.
He's on a budget, but this may just fit the bill. Plus €50 from Crucial for 8gb RAM (Which he can expand in the future) It's over the upper end of his budget, but he might stretch!
As I said I've gone blind over last few days, never realised there were so many feckin Intel processors!!!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Neil
