good motherboards for i7 4790 & gtx 1060

[plocke1]

i want to upgrade my gpu to a 1060 but my power supply has only 240 watt so i need to upgrade that. but i just found out that my current motherboard and psu has 14 pins (the motherboard is a lenovo sharkbay). i cant seem to find any good motherboards with a 1150 sockets. most that i found isnt for sale anymore and since im from Sweden i need a pretty popular one so its available here too. i dont have a low budget but id rather not buy a super expensive motherboard.

I feel like its almost better to buy a new cpu as well since i feel like the 1150 socket is very uncommon nowadays

Can you please tell me the exact model of the motherboard?

I don't think your mother board supports an 1060.

Ok a new motherboard will require a new Windows licence as the one that came with that PC is tied to the original motherboard.

As you have already found pre built pc's from places like Dell, Lenovo, HP,etc often use non standard fittings and sockets. I can't find any info on your motherboard but its entirely possible a new motherboard won't fit in your case as the mounting holes are likely wrong.

This is why those who build there own pc's hate these types of pre built, they are not designed to be upgraded. You are looking nearly building a whole new pc.

ive had the prebuild for 4 years now. so most of the components are shit so therefore im only keeping my harddrive and my cpu (i7 4790) so your pretty much right that ill have to build a completely new pc but im fine with that though
