PC stopped working yesterday (6 years old).

Took it to a shop, and they’ve just got back to me - the motherboard (ASUS P8Z77-V) is fried, and they can’t source a replacement (i’ve looked as well, and can find one, but it’s second-hand, and £140).

If I get a new (modern) motherboard, I’ll need to upgrade the CPU and memory - may as well get a new PC, and then put the old 2TB Drive with all my data in to the new one...

They’ll give me a price for an upgrade, then I’ll do a comparison (I was going to get a new Graphics Card next month, so I’ll factor that in as well).
