You will have to get ram as well, new board would be ddr4 and you *should* have ddr3 somthing like this could swith to the 1400 to cut down the price a bit

Yea I seen that, which is why I was debating on upgrading or not, and If I upgrade my mobo and processor to ryzen I'm getting a 1600 so that price is like 360ish

^ good idea. with 3 cores on each CCX, less lag while using multi core operations. its always better to go with a powerful cpu since thats the part which is gonna be used longer in ur rig.
