I was wondering what was a good motherbard to upgrade to after using the Z87 sabertooth, i was thinking of the MSI x99 and using aa 1080, might also need a new power supply as well, pretty sure this is the one i have now so might need suggestions as well so it's compatible with GTX1080

as i said earlier you dont need an x99 motherboard as you would need to buy a new cpu and the performance gains above what you already have if any wouldnt be worth the outlay.
you would be looking at maybe 1-2 fps by switching to a new platform.

your current cpu is still very good and it also overclocks like a champ
