I dont know a lot about the insides of the computer, just the basics, I bought myself a gtx 660 graphics card and installed it in my very old gaming computer and it takes a while to start up (for example I need to prime it like a lawn mower before it will load up on my monitor) at first I thought it wasnt getting enough power so I bought a decent power supply, but that didnt fix it, so on a different post someone mentioned I may need a higher end motherboard.
anyways after all that being said I would like to buy a new motherboard but dont care much for upgrading my processor as of yet but I dont know what motherboards both my graphics card and processor will work in.
I have:
geforce gtx 660 superclocked which I believe is this one > http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130826
and all I know about my processor is it is a intel i3-550 which I believe is this one > http://ark.intel.com/products/48505
the motherboard I have now is this one > http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128457
and as you can say even that is discontinued haha, so with all this information I would greatly appreciate if someone could find me a motherboard compatible, preferably from newegg.ca or any other known computer sites within canada
my personal budget for a motherboard is between $70-180
thanks
