its been a few years and im lining everything up for a new pc and im not quite up to date with all the new mb and cpu out right now. Which is a good combo out right now, i use the computer mainly for a few games such as wow and dayz, but thats about all the stress it will see. Anyone have good ideas for mb/cpu combo?

If you will planning overclocking and get a better GPU(maybe you can still use your 670,but the GTX970 have double performance than gtx670),I would get intel i5 4690k cpu.
