Hi All...
I'm going to sell my old MB and CPU... An AMD Phenom II X6 1055T + Asus M4A88T-M LE combo...
The reason was overheating (temps reaching 67C) and throttling of the CPU under load such as playing Far Cry 4 and Battlefield which resulted in poor frame rates and stuttering. I even felt that FIFA 14 was struggling sometimes....
My plans are to build a new Intel based setup and my other existing components are:-
I need help in selecting the CPU and MB which will give me good performance for the next 2-3 years. I need a MB with :-
I do not have much idea or understanding of the different intel chipsets (Z97, H97, Z87 etc) and studying about them is confusing me a lot . Hence need some advice from all the expert and experienced guys @ the forum to help me out.

My current plan is to get an Intel i5 4440 and a suitable MB... Is this good enough?
Thanks for reading and helping out a fellow gamer..

My plans are to build a new Intel based setup and my other existing components are:-
Zotac Gtx660 2GB
Corsair GS600W PSU
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
Antec A40 CPU fan
2 units of 500GB hard disks
4 units of 120mm cabinet fans
Samsung PLS 1080p monitor
I need help in selecting the CPU and MB which will give me good performance for the next 2-3 years. I need a MB with :-
USB 3.0 support
32GB or more RAM support
SLI support if possible in my budget but not a mandatory requirement (since I may add another gtx660 in future if prices go down or get a 2nd hand one)
