This morning when I went downstairs to work on the Tanaan dailies my computer blackscreened. I thought maybe I had disconnected my monitor when I pulled the case out to unplug my headphones and plug in my speakers. I checked the cables and they were secure.
So I powered down the case and attempted to bring it back up. Nothing happened. At this point I figure the Motherboard is toast - while I'll disconnect everything and attempt to get it to live again, I think it is the most likely culprit.
At any rate the last time I did a serious upgrade to my gaming Computer The Beast - it was 2010. Its probably past due to be upgraded.
Parts list in 2010:
Added in 2013:
Here's the spell components I'm looking to resurrect with:
That with my preferred case (the current case is starting to show 12 years of use) brings the total to $375 before shipping.
I'm thinking of adding in a Sapphire Radeon R9 270X for $179.
Wht do you all think? I mostly play WoW and D3 on my current rig/videocard (before it died). Do you think the above will do the job without upgrading the video card?
Thanks in advance for any help.
