Hi guys

I have a ASrock H61 BTC pro MB with an i5 3570, but i'm wondering if upgrading the MB to a ASrock Z77 Extreme 4 (can get a used in Denmark for 100$) would be worth it, instead of wait a bit, and then upgrade MB+Cpu to something newer, like 1150 socket.
One of the reasons i want to upgrade to the Z77 is because the H61 BTC does only support SATA2.

I use my pc for gaming, and can atm run Witcher 3 on Ultra in 1920x1200.

My Spec:
i5 3570
8gb 1600hz ram
Amd R9 280X Sapphire Tri 3gb
Samsung 250gb SSD

Hey Jimmidk,
Depends on how long waiting is. If you are waiting a month or two then buy the skylake LGA 1151 updates, new MB CPU and RAM. But if it is 1 year, then just go Z77, or even 1/2 a year I'd suggest go for the Z77 motherboard.

If i wait, it will be about 1 year, maybe a bit longer.
