Hello Gents. I currently have this motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I was thinking of upgrading to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Now i've been reading that upgrading motherboards really isn't necessary since they don't do much. I have an FX 8350 with my current board, i'm aware the only reason it works is the 1605 bios update, currently i don't care to OC. I am planning to get an GTX 780 or 780TI which OCing would help greatly, but say i don't OC and get the 780TI is there really any need to upgrade?

Only reason i'm asking since my current board is 970 chipset. Putting another good component on this crappy motherboard seems like it may cause problems or am i just paranoid? Thanks in advance for all the help!

Current specs-
FX 8350- H100i
M5a97
GTX 660 FTW signature 2
Rosewill hive 750W
120GB SSD+ 500GB HDD
