    Motherboards and RAM

    Hello guys,

    I have a very old motherboard and it had some problems with oxidation. My currently is a ATX LGA 775 On-board, it is currently RAM DDR2.

    My specs are ATX LGA 775 On-board, Intel core 2 Quad Q8400, 2gb RAM(I had 4gb but one burned), 500gb HD, Geforce 9800gt 1gb and a Fatality 550W professional series.

    What would be a good motherboard and RAM? A hydro cooler would be awesome too.

    I got a 150$ bucks to spend and i pretend to go on Walmart but other shops would be fine around Atlanta, Georgia.

    Thanks in advance.

    Buy something used from Ebay, it is hardly worth buying brand new parts that is almost 4 generations old.
