Hi,
So what i want to know is for the price and performance which is going to have a longer life in this changing market. A H or a Z Mb and between a K series or non cpu. Also if amd makes more sense for this then intel. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

depends on the budget for your parts. generally unlocked multiplier processors are better in the long run because of overclocking. provided you get a suitable cooler. as far as the motherboard factor it really boils down to features that you think you will use. like how many graphics cards you plan to use or what kind of resolution you plan to play your games at. If your only interested in a workstation office build there are builds for that too.

just be a little more specific and the difference between them is socket type and processor generation .. one is socket 1150 and the other is 1155 z87 has many different layouts so it really comes down to connectivity. ports and stuff..

in terms of a budget gaming setup. using only Mb and Cpu upgrades. and around $600. which would give more bang for the buck and last longer.
also i believe that the 1150 uses the H87 and the Z87 and the 1155 uses the h77 and z77 chipsets, but could be wrong.

while that is a socket FM1 and its not particularly powerful. what wattage is your psu? I want to say if you got a 270x your graphics performance would greatly increase. go that route because even if you did change cpu's you would have to buy a graphics card any way as long as you have a 500watt power supply you should be able to use that card as is .. i have a 1090t 6 core its about 3 years old but it can run battle field 4 on ultra settings with one of those cards .. but based off of what you told me I have a generalized build reference you can work off of .. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2nQ8R

while having a powerful cpu Is important I would say that especially if your using the intergrated graphics on that processor I would try the 270x and the power supply first. If your not happy then spend the other 350 on a new processor and motherboard.

sorry i have a 600 w 80+ thermaltake psu and gtx 560 special superclocked with 2gb gddr5 mem. i would really like to go back to intel since i have had better overall performance with it and only bought the amd because my budget was much less and the intel where very expensive at the time and i needed new parts after my old ones died on me.
