Hi. I currently have a pc with a Gigabyte H81M-S2H Motherboard. The Pc current power is CX600. I am running a GeForce Gtx1070 graphics card with 16Gb DDR3 and 100Gb ssd. My cpu is i7-4790 3.6 Ghz. I want to upgrade to a full size ATX board but im unsure what upgrades I will need. Im trying to run Elite Dangerous on very high settings. The board I am looking at is a Gigabyte Z170-GAMING K3 Socket 1151 Z170 Express DDR4 S-ATA 600 ATX Motherboard. Is this any good?? My case will take a full size board as I have measured it and it has the holes for all 3 sizes. Any advice guys would be great! I am looking to run a second GeForce Gtx 1070 in Sli with the other just after new year! Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you. This may seem like a silly question, how do I know if it will accept my i7 4790? Also if I upgrade in the future to a better processor how do I know what will fit etc?
