No reason to upgrade a MoBo without upgrading the CPU. There's only two things you care about in a mobo: featureset (which includes socket type, chipset, PCIE slots, overclockability, etc), and reliability.

Hello

Im helping my friend upgrading hes pc it is a Micro ATX.

And i am thinking on upgrading the gpu to a PNY GeForce GTX 750 Ti (2 GB)

And the motherboard to a ASUS B85M-G

Then he buys a PSU and case of me

If any of you guys have any suggestions then you are welcome but he is a bit low on money

What does he currently have? He can't even use that mobo if his old cpu isn't an LGA 1150 socket.

 

Necesito mas informacion.
