Hey guys
So at the moment I'm rocking a high quality, Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D2V Motherboard, not the best, I know :') I use it for general gaming and simple tasks like internet and work. The most demanding gaming I do on it is playing BF4 with Med/High graphics (GTX 650) and apart from that, only play a few other games. Very soon I am going to be buying some new components, a new case, graphics card, SSD, PSU, CPU cooler and I was thinking of getting a new mobo aswell. The case I was planning to get was the Fractal Design R4, the full size ATX, and with that a new ATX Mobo (I'm running MicroATX at the moment). But I was thinking to myself, I could just save space and money by staying with MicroATX, and getting a Define R4 Mini. I was looking through Amazon e.t.c and couldn't find a motherboard, for roughly £50-£70 (Thats $80-$120 for you Americans) that was really worth getting, I'm only going to be using a GTX 750ti, not overclocked, a I5 3570, once again not overclocked, a 120GB SSD, 750GB HDD, and the Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler, and I guess it needs USB3.0 aswell for the cases front I/O, so do I really need to invest into a new motherboard, is it really worth it? Is it really going to change my general performance overall and with gaming? I really don't know! And also is it worth moving to full size ATX?
