What's the most upgradable, barebones but still functional system I can make?
Is LGA 1151 a good bet on future proof?

I'm broke and my laptop motherboard is dying. I can't even fill forms with barely 20 minutes of system stability. I made this fucking post in notepad, saved constantly, then copy pasted it here. However, I don't want to waste money on a 100$ craptop Core 2 Duo between now and another job.

I've got a monitor, keyboard, mice, headphones, internal SSD, and wireless dongles already. I just need a mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU, and case assuming the Mobo has integrated graphics.

I'm thinking: LGA 1151 cheapest Pentium or i3 possible, full size ATX proper, one stick of RAM, plain case. Later on I can pop an i5-6600k into it and a decent video card. However, I don't want to waste money on an under-powered PSU I'll replace later.

It's not like Zen motherboards are available, so anything from AMD is a dead end for future proof.

are you even sure it's your motherboard and not your memory or your operating system

Yes it's the board, I've been trying to fix this piece of shit for nearly a week.

My bro has an identical laptop. We can swap HDD's, RAM, etc, ran all the usual stress tests. BSOD related to video card failure even with known good HDD, OS install, RAM, etc. Only way to replace it is by swapping the mobo. Stopgap solution at best for an HP craptop when everything else is failing.

At least the SSD is still working.

up yours

Future proofing right now is retarded because the new generation of chips might very well blow these old chips out of the water.

I that's not the case you're fine. If that is the case then you just built a system to watch everyone else upgrade while you stick with your shitty investment.

The new chips will use LGA 1151.

CPU and DDR4 are actually the only things that are futureproofed now that IPC increase has stopped.
