JogaBonito1502 Guru Messages 7,841 Location U.S. Jun 13, 2010 #13 I always like to think that if your motherboard is more expensive than your processor something is wrong. While the motherboard is one of the most important components of your computer, I feel like the processor should be more expensive. You could try: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115222&cm_re=i3-_-19-115-222-_-Product and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128420 It will be a bit more expensive, but you might find it worthy. This is what I bought recently to replace my dead AMD processor: CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115056 MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128357
