gaming mother o.O

 

Motherboards cannot affect the gaming performance of your CPU btw. No need to upgrade that unless you look for better aesthetics.

What is the reason you would want to upgrade your motherboard to the same processor? Performance gains, although existing, are marginally slim to not noticable between 100's of dollars price range.

Connectivity and features are things that can be concidered a reason to swap boards, but if you are looking for a performance boost you will have much better results sourcing a better LGA1150 CPU. I can find 4770K's for about 150EUR around here (Belgium), with the 4770 going under 100EUR if you don't want to overclock.

Keep in mind, 'gaming' is a term that is used by manufacturers, not an indication of performance.

What GPU are you running? First place to look for upgrades ;)

OK well that CPU is not going to be bottlenecked in the slightest by your current CPU so I don't see the need to upgrade the CPU now unless you are going to run an even better graphics card than a 1050.

 

It'd probably be helpful to everybody helping you for you to list your full spec.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

Your motherboard and CPU are enough for your GPU as is, getting a different motherboard will do zero difference and you should only buy a new motherboard if you'll also upgrade your processor to something newer.

Why are you upgrading the MB? Get a new gen CPU and MB for a start and go from there 

No. There is barely a gain, especially not one that's worth the money. He should definitely stick to 4th gen.

Ok. So to upgrade my computer for better performance i should upgrade both my cpu and motherboard? At the moment i am wanting to upgrade part by part but i wont be able to do that when upgrading my cpu. I am very confused and what i should do.

Drop in a new CPU, an I7 4770K or I7 4790K

I have recently upgraded my gpu its a rog strix gaming geforce gtx 1050

Or not. Don't upgrade anything. Get a better gpu first. 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
