Need help with motherboard

[intasar93]

Hello all,
Currently my specs are
AMD FX 6300
Gigabyte 78lmt-s2p
8gb RAM
GTX 750Ti

i was planning for a minor upgrade, not much

actually I'm getting a gtx 1050ti, and a SSD, So i would like to know which motherboard is a good one.

There is currently only 2 motherboards supporting AM3+ for your AMD FX 6300. Your current motherboard has the PCIE slot for the video card. Here is only AM3+ motherboard worth a look.

"I'm getting a gtx 1050ti, and a SSD, So i would like to know which motherboard is a good one." This doesn't make much sense. Your current board supports both of those. No need wasting money on a new motherboard for that old platform.

@bignastyid

Thank you very much for the suggestion, appreciate it. Actually my current mobo does not have a usb 3.0 slot plus it supports only 16gb ram, so i was a bit sceptical as should i upgrade or stay on the current mobo.

I wouldn't replace the motherboard till you upgrade the platform(motherboard, ram and CPU).

Thank you for the advice.

if in coming future i plan for an upgrade which CPU, mobo should i go for? My budget would be around $500.

Currently Ryzen would be the way to go with a AM4 motherboard and 16Gb of DDR4.

However it depends on when you upgrade. If it's a few months away you should create a new thread and ask about the upgrade a week or so before you buy the parts.
