Question Looking to upgrade my motherboard

[TigerJonny]

I currently have a Gigabyte z97x-gaming 7 motherboard and a i7 4790k. Running really well at the moment, but thinking about upgrading my motherboard first.

Just wondering if their are motherboards that will run an i7 4790k upwards. So I can eventually upgrade my cpu, because my Gigabyte z97x-gaming 7 will only run upto a i7 4790k

No, for newer CPU sockets already changed, yours is 1150 and the standard is now 1700 I believe.
Save your money and build new.

No.

Your current motherboard and CPU is about the best that can be done without a whole new parts list.

There is no motherboard upgrade, without upgrading everything else.

You need a whole new platform.
