Guy's i have an intel i3 540 first generation processor, my lga 1156 socket gigabyte motherboard stopped working, i want to buy a motherboard that is compatible with my first gen processor and also if it's possible it should support 3rd or 4th generation processor, as in few months i will be upgrading my processor. Deos such motherboard exists? :p
 
Solution
very few cpus use LGA1156 and they only support DDR3-1333.

I´d advice you to upgrade CPU and motherboard at the same time. Something with LGA1150 or skylake builds with 1151.
