I probably need a new CPU, M/B or both, see the other thread.
I want this unplanned update to be as small as possible. So let's play through the 3 possible cases. Which components would you recommend.
I still have 2*4 GB DDR3 I would prefer to recycle.

- Mainboard is okay, CPU is damaged.
I'm running a Phenom 2 X4 CPU. Which current CPU for that socket should I buy? - CPU is okay, mainboard is damaged.
Which new mainboard offers the best bang for the buck at the moment? I prefer full size but with onboard graphics (HDMI). Later this PC would become a HTPC. - Both are gone.
Which current combo is good and relatively cheap? Sounds like an i5 this time.
