Hi all

I currently have a MSI z97 Gaming 5 motherboard 1150 haswell socket with an i5-4690k however I’d like to upgrade my CPU, rather than going for a i7-4790K id like to upgrade to a 1151 socket chip and get a better i7 as it future proofs me also


What is a great gaming motherboard 1151 for value?

Thanks
