Hello, I want to upgrade my current CPU i3-2100 3.10Ghz to Intel CPU Core i5 7500 (1151/3.4GHz/6MB) . Problem is that my current motherboard Foxconn H67M-V has a 1155 socket and the i5-7500 has a 1151 socket so I need to buy a new motherboard aswel and I can't choose between :
1.Gigabyte Motherboard Z170-HD3P (1151/Z170/DDR4)
2.Gigabyte Motherboard H110M-S2PV (H110/1151/DDR4)
I'm on a budget so I would like to get the H110M as long as I can run modern games like Rainbow six Siege and Battlefield 1 on high settings, I'm not really interested in CPU overclocking and I might do Crossfire in the future. My biggest concerns are that the new motherboard might not be compatible with some of my PC's components such as the GPU AMD Radeon R7 265 2GB GDDR5 . I also consider buying more RAM since I currently have 4GB and would like to buy Crucial Desktop RAM Value 8GB 2400MHz DDR4, but I'm not certain if it will fit either of these motherboards.
Overall, I'm fine with buying either of these motherboards but I would like to hear the opinion of someone more knowledgeable on this matter.
