Long story short my youngest kid's PC took a dive. Corrupted BIOS, no saving it. Before it's death it was a Pentium G3258 (AE) setup. So I'm looking for one of 3 options:
1) a Z87 that has been flashed to accept Haswell Refresh / Devil's Canyon chips
2) A Board/CPU combo that isn't going to cost me more than $200 to 250 have him up and running and can replace his current chip
3) A board/CPU/RAM combo under $300 to replace the entire setup and I'll find a board to make that G3258 a media center.
Let me know what you have. Brand preference is to Gigabyte, MSI, or ASRock (in that order) but at this point I'm willing to get just about anything. I got burned buying a used board on eBay, so turning to some people I trust.
