ECS H77H2-M3, Fine for gaming?

[Quiruben Delacruz]

Is this motherboard bottlenecking my gaming performance?, it only has 4 pin connector for I think CPU, and it's a MATX motherboard. I currently have i7-3770 and GTX 760 Striker Platinum, I'm saving up to buy a GTX 970 but I'm thinking if it would be beneficial to upgrade my motherboard first. Thanks!

Assuming you don't have stability issues I think your motherboard is 100% fine and I would roll with it.

M-ATX is a size spec. It is irrelevant to performance.

The 4 pin connector is appropriate for your motherboard.
8 pins is only needed for sli and rigs with many attached devices to the motherboard.

Save your money.

Does the computer crash during gaming, do you get blue screens etc? Basically, does the computer function normally? If it does, keep the motherboard and save your money.
