Is it worth "upgrading" my motherboard to this one?

[MrYumYumz]

I currently have a ECS A780GM-A and I was considering about changing my motherboard to an ASUS M5A97 for a sort of "fresh start" for my PC because it's been acting pretty slow lately. I'm 80% sure it's just my HDD acting up as it has trouble reading sometimes (I got a WD green without doing a little research about it unfortunately) so I got a new one, but would it be worth it to change my motherboard too?

(I'm not worried about over clocking or anything like that if that's what gives the Asus a better advantage.)

I would upgrade it if I want another CPU or GPU

Scroll down for AMD motherboards
Other than that there is no reason to.

Hope this helps

No reason to upgrade the motherboard, its almost certain your hard drive and/or a fresh install of Windows.
