Hi all. Well, I was an idiot today and tried plugging something into my motherboard where I guess it wasn't supposed to go, and my computer died instantly. I'm going to check my power supply, but I'm pretty sure the motherboard is fried.
I built my computer two years ago using a website's recommendations, as it was my first build. Basically, I'm ok at following instructions but do not know a whole lot about motherboards in general. I need to buy a new, updated motherboard that will still work with all my components that I bought new two years ago.
My current (dead) motherboard is a Gigabyte, model ga-z68x-ud3h-b3. Here's a link to it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00518M74I/?tag=tec06d-20
I need advice on purchasing a new motherboard that would be pretty much compatible with this one in regard to components. Again, I know very little about mobos, so perhaps anything would pretty much work or maybe the tech has changed enough where I need to be selective.
Some of my current hardware include:
RAM: Corsair-Vengeance 2-Pack 4GB DDR3 DIMM Desktop Memory Kit-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
Graphics: VGA EVGA|01G-P3-1567-AR GTX560TI 1G
Intel processor but don't recall what I have exactly (I'm at work).
Any recommendations are very much appreciated, thank you for your help!
