Mother board and CPU upgrade?

[EricFX1984]

My son recently damaged my computer, he dumped about 350ml of water in it while it was running

I am going to have to (most likely) replace the Motherboard, and MAYBE the CPU... with that in mind, I would like to look at budget combos from MICROCENTER.

Any ideas?


I have the following specs:

- Phenom II 555 x2 unlocked to quad core @ 3.6GHz

- MSI 890GX -G65

- 2 x 2GB DDR3 @ 1600

- Antec 620 watt eco power supply

- Sony Blu Ray reader

- Sandforce G2 64GB

- 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11

- 2.0GB Western Digital eco drive

- Palit GTX 460 1gb

WATER COOLING

- thick 2x120 with 2 AP13 Gentle typhoons

- thin 3 x 120 with 3 AP13 Gentle typhoons

- swiftech microres with silver kill coil

-MPC-350 with an acrylic top

- all silver barbs

- Early prototype Enzotech Sapphire

- water block for the palit GTX460

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
6) Will you be overclocking?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? UEFI? etc.

Also, what's the exact model of RAM do you have?

And are you using an OEM version of Windows? If so you might want to replace the MOBO with the same model.
