[SOLVED] I want to upgrade my RIG CPU/MOTHERBOARD

[ugur_92]

Current Rig:
CPU - I7-4790K
GPU- GTX 1060 3GB GIGABYTE
RAM- 16GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR3
SSD- 128GB (only has windows)
HDD- 4TB
MOTHERBOARD - ASROCK H97M Pro4

I am aware that the motherboard itself is quite old therefore i wont be able to upgrade the CPU without actually needing to replace the motherboard. I was wondering which CPU/Motherboard combo i should go for. My budget is about max £900 to upgrade just the motherboard and cpu.

You need DDR4 Memory too.

Don't forget a good cooler:

I assume you use it for gaming?

If so something like this will be a great upgrade and below budget

Also slapped some RGB RAM in there because its 2019 and you're not 2015 are you.
