Hi Guys. I'm upgrading my old pc with an i5 4460, 8GB DDR3 RAM and my current GTX 260 OC from BFG. I have a standard HD that i'm keeping too. I want it to be future proof for a new GPU when i have the money, and a SSD. What motherboard should i pick? I want some quality for the least money, and i will not be overclocking. It doesnt have to be the 97 chipset.

Is my current PSU a problem?

I'll be using it for mainly cs:go, arma 3, HoN and streaming.

I hope you'll help me!

Maybe as a mATX? i will never overglock or SLI it anyways, and there will still be room for a SSD and HD, new GPU and 2x RAM right?

Thanks man. I'll go with the pro4!

Can you help me with this one, so me making a new thread is not needed.

I have this current PSU:

Will it be a problem with any of the connectors on to the pro4, an SSD or new GPU.

Thanks!

Which new GPU will you buy? And when do you buy this PSU? Here is review http://www.hardocp.com/article/2007/07/12/cooler_master_real_power_pro_750w/1#.VIHaCMlmO8A
I think you should be fine for most single gpu. But I can't find info about it is haswell compatible or not. But from the review I think it is old and it should be not haswell compatible. Even some PSU manufacturers said you can disable the c7 in the BIOS, but some of them may not work. So you can try that if you have problem, then you will need a
new haswell compatible PSU.

Well, this probably answers my own question:

I don't know about the GPU. I think i'll buy my friends RADEON 5870 which isn't a problem. My PSU has 2x 6+2 Pin connectors, so it wont be a problem with future GPU's right? I will only run a single GPU.
