New motherboard

raccattack

So I recently bought an intel 11600k and was able to get an Rtx 3060 for a reasonable price from Newegg shuffle

and I was wanting to upgrade my motherboard, right now I have a gigabyte b560m ds3h and It’s an micro-atx board. 

I was wanting an atx board but don’t know which one to go with, any suggestions?

I’ve got 250$

Personally, unless you need the extra expansion, just keep the motherboard you have. You aren't gonna see a performance improvement by getting a better board, so why bother spending $200 for no extra performance? You'd be better off selling the board and CPU putting the $250 with it to upgrade to 12th gen instead, there you might actually see a performance increase (if only slight)

What features of a new board do you want that your current board lacks?

 

Performance isnt a factor in 99% of cases between different boards.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

You can use an mATX motherboard in an ATX case. It will look a little small, no other issues.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Oh, shoot. Thanks I should’ve thought of that
