Hi guys need your help! :( looking for a motherboard that i can upgrade in the future... right now i have 8gb dd3 1333mhz. and im planning on buying another set of 8gb (2x4gb).....

Please help me with this one! :) thanks in advance!
 
OK. That CPU needs an 1156 socket motherboard.

The memory that is needed is DDR3 1333 as you stated. The memory controller can support up to 16GB, so 4x 4GB should work.

I went to Amazon.com and pulled a list of LGA 1156 motherboards. This will give you a broad idea of what is available out there. Just make sure that whatever motherboard you buy is LGA 1156, and has 4 slots for DDR3 memory, and you should be fine.

What do you think is the ideal motherboard for me? that can be upgraded able in the future.... sorry for the noob question..
 
That CPU was launched over 5 years ago now. We have gone through the 1156, 1155, 1150, and are currently moving to the 1151 socket for Intel CPU's.

My guess is that within 2 years, motherboards for that CPU will become hard to find.

I just went though some of the motherboards that came up at Amazon.com. They mostly have the same features. 1156 socket, PCIe 2.0 slots, USB 3.0 ports, 4 memory slots, and more. Prices are all over the map though. So in addition to what I listed that must be on the motherboard you end up buying, I am going to suggest Asus, AsRock, Gigabyte, or Intel motherboards. Avoid the other brands.

As long as you make sure you have the items I listed in my last post, and you use the brands that I listed in this message, you will pretty much need to decide if you want an ATX standard sized motherboard, or a Micro ATX (m-ATX) motherboard (its smaller with less PCIe slots, and often cheaper as well). And the brand. Everything else should be ok for you.
