Hi. According to my speccy info, my motherboard is a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) (MS-7788) (SOCKET 0). I currently have a Intel Core i5 3330 @ 3.00GHz with it, and I want to upgrade to a Intel Core I7 4790k 4.4ghz 8mb Lga1150.

Will my motherboard work with it?

No. Your MB has LGA1155 socket while i7-4790K requires LGA1150.

I have to ask... how much are you willing to spend on the MB? Also, would you like it to be SLI/Crossfire capable? The size of the MB should be considered too as it depends on your case. List your system's full specifications so we can have a better overview.

Well... [strike]I guess if it's around the same price as the processor, I could buy it. I don't understand much about motherboards.[/strike] Nevermind, I just checked the price of LGA 1150 motherboards and they're not expensive at all. Just recommend me something good enough to go with the processor. (I suck with motherboards).

here is the full info:
