Some days ago my power supply literally burned. It was an LC-Power Hyperion, and it was good while it lasted.
When replacing the PSU, inadvertently I must have unplugged one of the screws of the southbridge water cooling block and water spilled on top of my GFX and then into the PCI-E slot...
With an hairdryer I managed to bring my GFX back to life but it was the end of the road for the mobo. Could have been worse.
Time for a forced upgrade, I thought.
Now, I have 200€ and I must buy a CPU, board and RAM. That's really all I can spare right now, not a dime more, unfortunately.
So, after thoroughly reading the usual suspects, I came across the conclusion my best call is to buy an AMD FX-4100 (on water cooling I can easily run it at 5.2ghz daily), 4GB Corsair Vengeance Blue and an Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Any suggestions?
(Yeah, I know I should get an 2500k bla bla, but I can't afford it).
