I would focus your search on your motherboard's chipsets as they may be used in several different motherboards and you may find someone discussing a different motherboard with the same chipsets which should still be valid for your machine. In your case its partly in the model number. You specs can be found here. Note the Northbridge and Southbridge: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Product… ↗
What are chipsets?
You can use your motherboard as an example. It generally should have whats called a Northbridge & Southbridge chipset. The Northbridge deals with your CPU, RAM & Graphics and your Southbridge deals with the rest (hard drives, usb, expansion slots)
Once you decide to start the project you would want to get this information in your Signature.

You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. Please keep your signatures reasonably sized. We do not want to see full page specs. Edit your signature here: OSx86 Core & 10.X →
