Should I change my motherboard?

SsRicardoPT · Dec 19, 2015

My Gaming Pc build:
CPU I5-4460
MB Asus H97M-Plus
Graphics card GTX 960 Asus Strix (4GD5)
Windows 8.1
1TB HDD
Nox Nx200
XFX TS Series 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE
RAM 8GB DDR3 Gskill Ripjaws X CL9 1600 (2x4)

Is my motherboard good or should I change it to AsRock H97 Pro4?
If I´m changing to AsRock H97 Pro4, should I get H97 Pro4 or H97M Pro4, which one will work best with my build (case nox nx200)?

Any of those 3 boards will handle your build fine, between the 3 of them I would select on price. Looking good!

No, the motherboard is okay. And get a better case, the Nox case looks suspicious.

That motherboard is fine. Save your money and get a SSD:

If you can, also change your case to something a bit better:

The SSD should get priority though.
