You're considering whether to upgrade your motherboard or purchase a used one. It seems you're leaning toward buying a used model now, but are finding it difficult to locate one. The question is about the specifications—what RAM speed (mb) would be suitable and where to find a reliable source for it. Thanks for clarifying that you meant new CPU and RAM instead of just the motherboard.

You can find options starting around $35 to $40. It's wise to verify there are sufficient USB and SATA connections, and that the device includes an I/O shield.
