Hello, I have recently bought new RAM and a new GPU and next on my list is a MOBO and CPU update. Having just spent so much on my GPU I am looking for a mid range motherboard that has the potential for high end CPU's to eventually be installed on it. Can anyone suggest a reasonable motherboard/CPU combination? It would need at least a PCI-e for my wireless card and a PCI-e 3.0 for my GPU. This isn't my first time actually putting together a computer but it is my first time shopping around for parts as you can tell.

This would work in your motherboard if you have the latest BIOS ver and it would be a huge upgrade for you.

I have a 550W corsair PSU, r9 380 GPU, 8gb corsair DRAM currently, an AMD A6-6400k and an f2a78m-hd2 mobo. I would probably be looking to spend a maximum of £150 on the combined mobo and cpu, possibly stretching to £200 if I wait until later in the year
