Can my LGA socket cpu fit on a 1150 socket mobo? if not can you reccomend a great mobo for 1155 socket snice i have a tight budget atm and can't upgrade my cpu.

Cpu: i7 3770 3.5Ghz socket-1155
Mobo: ASUS Z97-A, Socket-1150
MSI GTX 970 4 GB

The mobo needs to be compatible with the gtx 970 and my cpu.

No, LGA 1155 CPUs are not compatible with LGA 1150 motherboards. Only 4th Gen Intel CPUs are compatible with 1150; your i7 3770 is a 3rd Gen CPU.

If you want a new motherboard, the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is one of the cheapest motherboards:

However since Z77 has long since been retired your best bet is to find a used motherboard, since most vendors have stopped selling them.

Here is a MSI Z68MA-G45 for $63...

Or a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 for $100:

Keep in mind that buying used is more risky, since you typically don't get a warranty. However, most sellers will be willing to accept a return if the product doesn't work straight out of the box.

What I meant by retired is that no manufacturer is currently producing them for the consumer market; what is currently on sale at vendors is most likely old stock.

Again, if you want a new board, the ASRock is your best option, as it is a decent motherboard and is not too expensive (Older motherboards that are new in condition can run up to $300-400 for even a mid-range one).

If you want a broader range of motheboards to choose from, you will have to consider used ones.
