So recently I just learned how to put a computer together a little and got a little excited so started to take my old computer apart. The one thing that I dared not touch was the motherboard because it's what I figured the main component and didn't want to mess with it if it didn't need any messing with. But now I realized that I'll have to learn that part eventually be it now or later down the road, so whether or not to do it now is knowing how much the motherboard will affect performance. I currently have a Dell XPS 8100 or what use to be that anyways and the motherboard is the one that came with it. Should I be considering on replacing it with a new motherboard or will this one suffice for mid/high end gaming? The motherboard I'm considering on buying is this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851&cm_re=ASUS_M5A99FX_PRO_R2.0_AM3-_-13-131-851-_-Product
