Sorry if this is in the wrong thread!

Hi i need some help with choosing a motherboard for my pc.(This is an upgrade to my pc!)

Im planning on upgrading my motherboard and gpu but i could not find a motherboard which is compatible with the gpu i am going to buy(MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming 4GB PhysX) and my cpu that i already have(intel core i7 3770)

Specs!

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl
CPU: intel core i7 3770
RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB KIT
Motherboard: MSI z77a-g43
Power: Corsair cx500(Would i need a upgrade if so tell me)

I prefer msi motherboards

The max amount of money i would like to spend on the motherboard (Possibly power) is 200£

Your MoBo is compatible with the GPU by all means. You don't need a new MoBo.

Yes you'd. A 550W or higher psu from EVGA/antec/Xfx/Seasonic will be good enough.

Xfx pro 550w or Seasonic s12ii 620w or EVGA 600B are all good value/money.
