Hello I was thinking changing socket when i found these 3 motherboards. So which one of these 3 motherboard is best? I mean which one of these 3 have better and stable Bios. Many people suggest Asus motherboard well i have one Z97 PRO Gamer. I can say that is awesome the bios. But changing into socket 1151 still no idea what can i choose. So can someone help me?

At the end of the day there is no real hardcore improvements that the one has over the other, I would basically always go with either the Gigabyte or the Asus, just because I`ve had good experience with both brands in all the years. Which does not mean the MSI is bad at all, my advice would be get the Asus as you are already well acquainted with the brand and it`s a nice board this one.

Not much in the way of technical specs I know but there is not much distinction between these that really stand out.

I have the same opinion to go for a Asus motherboard. Well a friend of mine suggest me Asrock well that model of motherboard Asrock H270 Pro4. I see that you have experience on motherboards. Well i don't know Asrock doesn't impress me so much that model well this is about what country i'm also. Different prices you know. Well i have already a motherboard Asus z97 pro gamer i think that is awesome. So i'm about to fit a 7700 cpu with it that is a good choice? i mean some people said that i'm giving much for a motherboard

Honestly no, you are pairing a non-overclock board with a locked cpu, meaning you do not care for overclocking to begin with. In that case this is a good range of mobo to get. Not going entry lvl always has it`s advantages. So no I do not think you are over paying for the motherboard.

After further inspection that is a very nice board actually. With the 2 M.2 sata ports for very fast SSD expansion and the USB-C at the back you won`t be looking for anything more. The Aura RGB header for nice RGB LED lighting, while not needed, it`s nice to have and it can sync with all your other RGB enabled devices.

The cpu your getting is very nice, why not get a nice board to accommodate it as well. If your budget allows it just do it. Many people may not agree with me but going a bit bigger has never hurt anyone. Just as long as you plan to use at least some of the capabilities that your getting with the purchase.

Well i see that you are right. Because i have already a pcbuild with these specs i decided to go because of bottleneck with 4590 cpu and many other reasons so i have these specs:
CPU: i5 4590
RAM: HyperX Beast 8GB
Motherboard: z97 pro gamer (Well that motheboard i have bought it used from another one)
PSU: g650m coolermaster

Well i hope i didn't forget to mention something of my specs. I was thinking that because i rarely upgrading so i prefer these specs to go for it

Keep in mind, that will not work seeing as the 4590 is a Haswell chip which only runs on Haswell chipset. No BIOS update will help you, that is 3 generations behind, if you want to run that motherboard then you will need a new cpu as well as ram. It will be a complete system upgrade. You will have to get a Kabylake cpu (7000-series).

I was under the impression you want to change your whole system. But unfortunately that will not work.

Ooohhhh okay awsome then yes that will be a very nice upgrade. You will experience a nice improvement in overall performance but more so in you multi-threaded tasks. So yeah that board will work nicely in your case.
