I recently bought a computer with the AMD-FX 9590 processor,
a GTX 750 ti GPU,
750watts of power,
and a ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AMD 990FX ATX motherboard.

I realllly wanna run shaders on minecraft with 100FPS flat. I am going to upgrade the processor to an i7-4790k when it comes out, so I am wondering if my motherboard can support it. Please reply as soon as you can, I am on a time crunch for returning it if I need another motherboard. :F

Sorry, With Motherboards you either buy an Intel Chipset or an AMD Chipset. They arent compatible with each other, U can buy a Z87 Board and with a Bios update should take the newer i7 CPU, However an Intel Cpu wont work in an AMD socket and Vice-Versa...

The i7 3770k Would need an LGA 1155 (Z77) Motherboard, Which has been replaced with the newer LGA 1150 for the 4xxx CPU's (Z87 & Z97)
