Hello everyone, my first post here. I'm starting to research options for a new build in honor of The Witcher 3 later this year. My question is if upgrading my current motherboard for a newer chipset version is worth it in my case.
I currently have a ASUS M5a87, w/AMD FX 4100, 8G DDR3, Radeon 6800 Series card.
This board runs the 870 chipset, I believe 990 chipset is the most current version.
Other than the older chipset my current board has everything I need with updated bios for AM3+ Processors and support for DDR3.
What are the advantages of the newer chipset? Faster in some respects but im not to familiar with the benefits of the chipsets.
Thanks
