Asus Motherboard M5A97 Replacement

[Veroland]

My kid has a pc with an old M5A97 board in. I want to replace the board and cpu with something newer and hopefulle still be able to use the DDR3 Ram and case.

Is there any suggestions for a motherboard with roughly the same physical size? I have been out of the hardware scene for quite some time now.

Thanks

Nope, sell it all and just get a new mb/cpu/ram bundle. ddr3 is not going to work on newer stuff.

DDR4 has been around since 2014, so I think ponder is correct in saying it's time for an upgrade.

EDIT: Looks like DDR5 isn't far away either.
