so ive been using for quite sometime this motherboard: MSI P35D3 Platinum LGA 775...but now i think its time i moved on to something new...do you guys think this board: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard....would be a good upgrade? thanks in advance

Oh and i mostly play MMOs...right now im playing lots of dayz
 
No.

lga1155 is now old tech.
Since you are looking at a cpu change regardless, look for a lga1150 motherboard.

Lots of those games are cpu intensive and single threaded. If so, look at a $70 G3258 and plan on a good overclock.
It is only dual core, but those two cores can be faster than anything else you can buy, regardless of price.
