I am a My Super PC graduate and have built two PC's. The last one was early 2007. At the time I used the AMD Athalon duel core 64 with a MSI K9N Platinum. It died last week and trouble shooting with MSI user help it has been determined that the MB is dead and probably the processor too.

Here is the question. If I have to upgrade the processor and MB what should I use? I have a Antec Sonota case and Thermaltake Volcano cooler (huge) and the typical other components that went with the My Super PC of that era. Will I have to upgrade the cooler and the Crucial Balistic memory as well? Geese I don't want to start all over. I guess I could go to Ebay and see what I can find in direct replacement. Maybe since it has only been two years I can get the old MB and processor.

Any help appreciated.
