No No NO

Right click on Start in the lower left, and choose System. There it will state what Processor you have.

Any of boards listed here should work with your CPU if it works on the board you listed in your first post. Even the most expensive ones should come in well under £200. I would go for the Fatal1ty or one of the extreme series right at the top of the page given the better VRM/power solutions on them. A quick look on amazon and the Fatal1ty board should be around £100.]]> Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:30:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1749&PID=8691&title=upgrading-my-motherboard#8691 <![CDATA[upgrading my motherboard : Will try to look after work.

That only narrows it down to a few dozen different CPUs, so it doesn't really say much. Any chance you could take a look at the CPU itself? The part number should be on written on the lid.

So you want to get just a new motherboard with your current CPU or does a CPU have to fall into that budget too?]]> Sun, 17 Jan 2016 02:48:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1749&PID=8598&title=upgrading-my-motherboard#8598 <![CDATA[upgrading my motherboard : Hi everyone,I'm looking at...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1749&PID=8587&title=upgrading-my-motherboard#8587 Author: squidgelee

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at upgrading my motherboard (FM2A55M-VG3+)

I'm looking at getting a motherboard that can use two or even three monitors.

Don't want to spend too much money though. i have a budget of up to £200

Thankyou.
