What additional features do you need ?

crossfire, raid support, more memory, a better chipset, maybe more ports... just an over all better motherboard. ty!

For 125 bucks you can't find any MB with those requirements. Raid can do any new MB but for other ones look for "Gaming" in the name, they are usually overclockable too.

a friend told me these two
#1 Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
#2 Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

what do you think? would they work? are they worth it or should i stay with what i have?

They both have multiple PCIe x16 ports and can do CF/SLI with the provision that second and additional GPU uses lower speeds. That makes for some although little graphic performance drop. That may depend on processor too but I don't think it would be noticeable.
I would give Gigabyte one a slight preference on account of durability and partly looks. Don't have hands on with either but by experience and comments on internet Asus usually have better BIOS while Gigabyte MBs are usually more robust.
Both have good VRMs and cooling so are nicely overclockable providing CPU is too. Gigabyte one has newer CODEC sound chip but potentially troublesome "Killer" Lan.
Might be best to look up some recensions and benchmarks for either one but not from sites that sell them, they tend either to favor some or plainly don't know what they are talking about.

ok. but in your opinion, is it worth it to get one of those/upgrade, or should i stay with what i have for now?

If you are not going for overclockable processor and at least two GPUs, I see no real reason for switching now. Who knows what will show up in next couple of years at least.
