Motherboard Advice

[Lord_Chronos]

I currently own a computer with these specs and am currently being bottlenecked by my CPU. However, my motherboard only has an FM2+. I am looking to buy a new motherboard which would allow me to use all my old hardware except for the CPU and motherboard, I am likely to buy a new intel i5 or i7. Unfortunately, I do not know a lot about motherboards What motherboard would people recommend?

Specs:

• CPU - AMD A8 6600k
• GPU - AMD R9 280
• RAM - 8GB DDR3 (1 stick)
• PSU - 600W
• OS - Windows 7
• Storage - Samsung 850 evo250GB SSD, 1TB Hardrive
• Motherboard - Gigabyte F2AR78M-D3H
• Monitor - AOC (VGA and DVI input)

Preferences:

No overclocking
Onboard wifi is a bonus but not necessary

No need for RGB pins or pump headers

I'm not too sure what else I need (this is a gaming setup if that helps) but fan control, heat sensor, room for more ram, usb ports around 8 at least 2x 3.0 ports and 2 at the front, ethernet port,  headphone and mic 3.5mm, min of 3 sata inputs

Haswell would be what you should be looking for, intel 4th gen. Though a DDR4 memory 8gb is not that much expensive and imo is worth going with DDR4

well any motherboard with a 80 or 90 series chipset should do you good if you dont want to overclock. what you want to get is a 4th get Intel processor for that motherboard too if you want to keep the RAM
