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
 
Solution

yes the 1080 will work on your current motherboard.

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

i7 6700k.

Hello

I'm new to this forum and I was wondering what was a good motherboard to upgrade to after using the Z87 Sabertooth that has an i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz, 3501Mhz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors on it. My video card is a GeForce GTX 660. As Microsoft phases out their Window 10 64bit, they tell me that my motherboard is not compatible with their new windows 11.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
While I am not really willing to down grade my current CPU's performance, my budget is sort of a bit tight.

Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Sincerely
