I have something of a conundrum. My PC is starting to get rather old. While my video card isn't too horrible quite yet (since I don't have a huge monitor to push and don't tend to play the AAA games with bleeding edge PC melting graphics), the motherboard predates such things as PCIe 3 and USB 3, and my old Phenom II X4 is starting to not cut it anymore. The problem, though, is I can't really afford to buy new gear at the moment.
I was wondering if there are any good places to pick up cast offs for people who have upgraded their old rigs and are getting rid of their previous stuff. Since I have everything else, all I'd really need is a motherboard and CPU (though memory as well would be good to have), but don't really know where to find used, but not older than a year or two, or discount parts.
Any suggestions?
