I'm looking at upgrading my motherboard by the holiday season, its been about 4 years since I've bought my current motherboard and need a little guidance on what to keep my eyes on. I'm a college student still... even after 6 years, so I have a limited budget and I'm looking to spend less than $200 (thank god for Paypal Credit).
I currently have an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+
other specs:
CPU - AMD fx-6100 3.30 GHz AM3+ (which should be upgraded as well at some point)
GPU - ASUS R9 390
RAM - 4 x 2gb DDR3
PSU - XFX ts 550w
Case - Enthoo Luxe (Full tower)
My case has two front USB 3.0 ports that would be nice to use. I'm also looking into upgrading my sound system, so perhaps an on board 5.1 audio port would be a plus too.
Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
