Help choosing a new Motherboard

[ch4k1]

Hi Forum!

So recently my old Motherboard died, and I would like to purchase a new one. I was surfing through the forum's guides to find a Mobo but I sometimes am very undecisive.

I was wondering if any of you could help me find a good Mobo that goes well with my current PC Specs.

Here are the Secs that I have:

HDD - 1TB Western Digital
SSD -Samsung 850 EVO 120GB 2.5 inch Sata III
CPU- Intel i7 4820K LGA 2011 64 CPU (3.7Ghz 10MB Cache)
CPU Cooling Fan - Corsair Hydro Series H100i
PSU - Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX860i
GPU - XFX Double D AMD Radeon HD 7870 Black Edition OC 2GB GDDR5
RAM Memory - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series - 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
Windows 8.1 64 bits

My previous Motherboard was:
AS Rock LGA2011 Intel X79 DDR3 CrossFirex Motherboard X79 EXTREME 6.
It lasted me for 3 years and died recently.

Hope someone could help me find a good one based on your criteria.

Thank you in advance, forum!

Since the availability of new X79 motherboards are next to nothing at this point because of their age, if you can afford an upgrade right now, I'd go for a new X99 board with a Haswell-E or Broadwell-E CPU. If you are willing to buy used, there are a few X79 boards available.

Like these : http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=asrock+x79+extreme6+motherboard&_osacat=58058&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1311.R1.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xx79.TRS0&_nkw=x79+motherboard&_sacat=58058

Hi Nick, thanks for the reply!

I completely understand. I think I'm going to get another x79 board though, since I'm not sure about upgrading to DDR4, plus the CPU and board as well.
