Accidently bought motherboard. Is it worth upgrade in your opinion? (details in post)

Was cleaning my computer and thought I broke my motherboard. So I ordered a new one. Turns out the power supply broke during the cleanup and not the motherboard. Im debating keeping because I was going to buy a new motherboard soon anyway.

I had this board.

the board I bought was this.

Go to specifications next to overview to see the motherboard specifications.

I see no real difference in the specs.

the memory I use can run between 1333 MHz - 2400 MHz so it seems that the old board is better for this anyway.

I have only build one computer before and first time I am upgrading major parts. Thanks for thoughts.

Both are solid board, I personally wouldnt bother replacing what I had unless there was something I needed on the new board. In this case they are so similar that theres hardly a difference so I wouldnt waste my time or money.

I don't think it's worth while to upgrade to that board. I would return it and get a new PSU if you broke it.
