Hello guys so I am planning a build or you can say upgrading my build. And i was thinking to remain at LGA 1155 for a year or two more and i want a kobo for that
With my budget i Am considering Asus P8B75-M and Asrock Z75 pro3.
All I want is usb 3.0 pci-e express 3.0 x 16
Thanks for help :)

1. why do you want USB3.0?
2. why do you want PCIe 3.0x16?
3. what is your budget?

LGA1155 is already outdated, to be honest, and I don't know how good of an investment it would be to pay to stick with it, especially for such minor functionality upgrades like you mention.

Also keep in mind that if you change your motherboard you will run into a lot of problems with drivers and hardware-bound software licenses.

That's pretty much standard equipment in most PCs these days. Definitely agree about LGA 1155 especially since there's not much difference between CPUs these days. I'm still running LGA 1155 and it's fine but will eventually be upgraded to Intel X99.

i dont have any hardware bound software license.
I only have usb2.0 in my current board and i need usb3.0 for my 2 devices so I can get full functionality. And i have only pcie 2.0 in my current board which causes major issues in gaming.
I know its outdated thats why I want to invest little so that I can go with better board and cpu in future.
