Hello i feel like i need a new motherboard for my gaming PC as the one ive got now is not very good and its quite old therefore i am searching online for a new one.

My Main Specs are:
CPU: FX4100 QUAD CORE
GPU: MSI GTX 770 4GB TWIN FROZR
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE 16GB
POWERSUPLY: 600W or 650W im not so sure

As goes for my motherboard i would like on within the range of £50 - £150 as i do not want to spend too much money on one.
NOTES:
(ps: I have ONE GPU and two ram sticks)

This motherboard will be used in a gaming PC

I am not fussed on what brand or make as long as they are good and reliable.

Please and Thankyou for answering this question.

why the need of a new mobo if you are keeping the same cpu? are you running into trouble with your current one? which one do you have by the way? any bottleneck most probably is due to your cpu!

Well I am not entirely sure as i am unable to check right now but it started with this one then i installed a GTX770 and 16GB Ram into it so http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004GY2JAK/ref=oh_au...
I am getting a new motherboard as i feel like it is messing up my pc as every time i try to install my gpu drivers i cant launch the pc as it keeps crashing at the `startingwindows` screen so i though it migh be that the motherboard is fairly outdated whereas my GPU is fairly new. If you know any solutions for this please tell me but dont worry about it. Im kinda new o all hardware stuff but i know basics and other stuff. Thanks for helping though.

open the side panel of your tower to find info about your mobo and psu which might be inadequate for such gpu.most prebuilt pc come with low quality psu! however you can try booting to safe mode by taping F8 button.! if you manage a succesful boot you can try thisDisplay Driver Uninstaller software. also make sure you install the correct drivers. you can download from here http://www.geforce.com/drivers

I would use the software but im not sure if it will work or give me shit so im not too sure & i dont think the nvidia drivers will work as the card is modded by MSI and some gpu's work with certain drivers but i cant install the disk as the drive wount read any disks

we need to identify the problem before we apply a solution.what i have suggested you do, will help determine if it is a hardware or software problem. please do so.!

EDIT : MSI is just the manufacturer. even if it isnt a reference design gpu, even if you have modded the gpu's bios it should still work with the nvidia drivers.!
