Upgrading computer - Looking for new Motherboard

CeoloRT · May 16, 2017

So after looking for a new Gpu I just found out that my current Cpu has been bottlenecking my Gpu for over a year, so now I'm looking to upgrade first of all my motherboard, but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Current Gpu - Asus Gtx960
Gpu I want to buy - Gtx 1060
Current Cpu - AMD FX(tm)-4350 Quad core 4.20 GHz
Cpu I want - ?
Current motherboard - Gigabyte 78LMT-USB 3
Motherboard I want-?
Current Case - Zalman Z3 White Mid Tower
Future cas- Would I need one?

I'm sure i need to give more information so just ask if you need any more.

If you want a brand new motherboard, I suggest you look beyond the am3+ boards and look into am4 or lga 1151.

AMD FX6300 last cpu upgrade that may or may not be worth buying to pair up with gtx1050.

So you could go three different ways if you are tight on money for the moment I suggest you build up 400 dollars and aim for the mobo, cpu and ram.

Is there anyway to know if this would all fit into my case?

Read the case specs closely normal atx motherboards will work, the gpu will in it.

Go with the gtx1050 you will have more gpu memory which is big plus for newer games demanding higher specs.

If you bought the cpu, mobo, gpu only it'll run you about 350.00 even.

This for the msi am4 asrock lga1151 boards: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7HN5J35679
