So I bought the ASRock H61M-VG4 motherboard and I got to say, im pretty disappoined. I guess it was silly of me to not check the specs first but its weird how a company like asrock who make great motherboards only includes 1 case fan while my nearly 10 year old dell motherboard i have has 2. I dont know I guess I expected too much? anyhow, im getting a gtx 770 4gb soon and I plan on overclocking that beast. I just want to know if I should use that old dell motherboard I have or keep the asrock. will I be missing out on a lot by switching to that dell motherboard? thanks in advance

well there a couple things you be missing out if you switch to dell mother-board 1 overclocking feature 2 turbo boost feature
3 is max ram support for the dell is 8gb plus side for dell is more pci-e/pci slots, if you don't need that stuff it should be ok but if you plain to use windows 8.1 or 10 good luck finding the drivers since the only os that supports the board is windows 7 according to dell support site.
