Question Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 (rev. 2.0) VS Lenovo IS7XM ?

[Newbybuilder]

Hello,
I am seeking some insight on two motherboards I have.
My current PC is a Lenovo m92P with the IS7XM Q77 Chipset motherboard
I picked a Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 (rev 2.0) H61 Chipset from a buddy of mine.

I am curious if its worth swapping my CPU & RAM & GPU to this Mobo ?

It has less ram slots & does not have USB 3.0 on it.

But I assume I can overclock my CPU with the Gigabyte where the IS7XM I cant.

Would it be worth swapping everything ?
Will my Gaming be better with the Gigabyte over the Lenovo ?

Any info would be appreciated
Thank you !

Not really.
You will get the same performance.
But the GIGABYTE is more easy to troubleshoot and upgrade, where as lenovo one is just made to run that config it comes with, with only possible upgrade is RAM upgrade. Alongside the GPU but that doesnt have anything to do with the motherboard.
You cant overclock it, you need a Z77 chipset, neither of them are Z77.
