The 1st think you need to do is get rid of the VIP SMPS (power supply). It's complete garbage & may be the reason the motherboard failed. In fact, are you 100% sure the motherboard is the problem? Get a decent power supply before doing anything else.

the above is 100% correct dont think of replacing the board before making sure its the faulty piece, what are the reasons that made u think the board has gone bad ? have u ever considered that the power supply or smps may be the reason for that ? try another psu from the ones mentioned above. and abt the motherboard, u can replace a motherboard with an LGA 775 socket and this cpu is probably faster than most i3 processors and dual cores so in ur case if u want an 1155 socket go for i5 or i7 or stay with ur current system and get a new board with 775 computers are a second home NVIDIA GeForce GS_Toxict51
