I always build my own computers (except laptops)
My file server is getting pretty old though. It has a Pentium D motherboard from Asus. It does have USB 3 and SATA 2 ports. I also have an ATI Radeon 9000(?) graphics card and 5 SATA drives.
I want to upgrade the motherboard but to keep things cheap I want to be able to keep everything else the same, such as the drives and the graphics card unless it comes with a better one built in to the CPU. I figure I will have to buy new memory too. Not sure about the power supply. The case is an ATX server case.
I haven't been really keeping up with processors much lately. I want something with good built in graphics if available, and probably 6 cores.
So what would be a good motherboard/cpu/memory for me? I tend to like Intel cpus over AMD. And I like ASUS motherboards but I am open to other ones too.
