My french toaster is dead

My motherboard PCI-E and SATA ports decided to stop working, forever.
I'm currently on a craptop running ubuntu 15.10 (MATE) and thus I can't play arma 3 T.T

I'll be getting a new rig this week / next week or mid late january in the worst case scenario.

I already got my screen, and I can reuse my mouse and headset.

 

the screen in question is a iiyama GE2488HS.

I'll probably get a 960 4GB and a skylake intel proco, other components... dunno yet.

Final config, all pieces are coming in around 2 weeks:

Proc: Intel Core i5 4590

CG: MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming - 2 GB

RAM: 8GB (2x4) PC12800 DDR3

MOBO: ASUS B85M-G C2

Case: Corsair Carbide 200R

Screen: iiyama GE2488HS

 

I'll probably upgrade to the socket 1151 and get a skylake + pascal combo around december.

Get atleast a 4gb CG you regret it iff you take the crapy 2 gb 

 

Also go for 16 gb ram not that crapy 8 :)

Frigidaire is highly reccomended for home users. Theres more you can do with it as only making a croque monsieur. The tournedos Rossini (escoffier) is one of my favourites. Keep a eye on the maillard raction, to heavy and it becomes bitter and burned.

A GTX960 is not much more powerful than the over-3-year-old GTX660TI I have just upgraded from (even less so considering the massive boost clock it had being the MSI power edition).

You'd actually get better value from a GTX970 which you could use in the rebuild you have planned. I think SCAN have an Asus GTX970 for £230 at the moment, cheapest to date. Just saying, hope you get it sorted regardless.

(P.S, check second chart on this link for relative comparison - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650/performance)
