So this is my computer build right now. I found out the P5KC doesn't have drivers for Windows 7, oddly enough the computer has worked fine (not at full potential) before my crash, and right now it barely does just the "not too difficult/teasing things". Rather than having a new computer made I would just replace the motherboard, which is not even cheap, but what do I wonder is: if I change that, what else should I change? Suggestions? Orientative prices? My budget will be some 3-700 euros.
Hi, try this link, it will show if it supports it or not:

Thirdly, if you are thinking on a new computer in the 300-700 range, and you need to buy an OS for it too, than i suggest an AMD, the T1055 (hex-core) computers are allmost the same price as the I-core5, sometimes even a bit cheaper. (The newer Thuban versions are even a bit better, and they do not cost THAT much more)
I bought allmost the same comp for my sis that i have, (she has a bit more harddrive, and not 5770 card) for 500 euros.
AMD thuban 1055, 1000gb harddrive 4gig ram, ati 5670 1gb. Basicly allmost everything runs smooth on it. With an extra 70 euros, you can add even more 4 gig ram in it.
