Hi guys,
Need some advice regarding CPU and motherboard upgrade. The motherboard should have on board graphics ability because I'm not buying a graphic card right now. Further, I may upgrade in the future in terms of RAM/CPU/HDD if required.
I was initially going to go with Intel G2020 and Asus P8H61-M LX3 as is suggested on a few other threads but then I realized that the Asus P8H61-M LX3 only supports RAMs upto 1333 MHz whereas my RipJaw RAM is 1600 MHz so I thought I might as well ask before purchasing.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot !
