any experienced pc builders here?

I have an old Hp pavilion P6 pc, about 4 to 5 years old, ive upgraded the GPU and power supply, but now I needa get a new motherboard, so i can gut my pc and upgrade it, but im very unsure about wether i need a specific mother board or not.

and yes a new board is vital, the bios is dying, and it wont run newwer ram sticks.

my plan isnt to buy a new whole "cheap" pc, i wanna build one so i know whats in it, a pc that cheap will run like any cheap pc, not well.

@HeWhoLaughs Then start by knowing if your motherboard is bad, any component you had in it, is suspect of damage. And any component you take from existing system and place in new motherboard will render new motherboard suspect of damage. Like buying a car, buying the pieces to build it yourself is much more expensive. Electricity can be bad to you.

no no, my plan is to build a new pc, with a few existing parts, my psu is fine, cause its new, and my cpu, is still decent, and other than my hard drive which is more of a "id like to keep" , the rest will be replaced, over time
