Now i was looking for a motherboard for my I5 2500 and beings its slightly dated the LGA1155 socket doesn't have very many motherboards to offer! My budget was £100 and i couldn't find a decent kinda high end 'New' not refurbished motherboard for gaming. So i got the Asrock h61 Pro Btc motherboard for temp and i wanted to upgrade it in the future and im not sure where to go any options?

Well there's really no point in going to Z77 since you can't overclock anyway but if you don't, you are more or less limited to B75 and that's not much of an upgrade. Unfortunately it may be difficult to find a new motherboard for a reasonable price given how the supplies have dried up.

You might be better off checking around on ebay or reddit.

Motherboards are mostly about features, despite what motherboard manufacturer's like to advertise. A "gaming" branded board isn't any faster than a regular one. Unless you need better overclocking support (which, if you've got a locked chip anyway doesn't matter) you're probably fine where you are. If you need more SATA ports, PCI-E slots or something else I recommend eBay. I got an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO for $80 brand new (but obviously old stock) about a year ago on eBay
