Hey guys, I have just decided to replace my MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard because i am eventually looking to upgrade my gpu to a gtx 960 and my cpu to a amd 8350
but for right now i am wondering what motherboard i could get that would fit what i have right now and could also support what i will eventually get.
here is my build (yes i know it is shitty but it was the best i could get and i am working on upgrading it anyways) http://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER-Black-Gamer-Power-WA550B-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-Quad-Core-FX-4300-Processor-8GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Monitor-Not/23745948

Thanks guys!

also i am looking for a afforable new bigger case so if you know any please put them or a link in :)

When you upgrade the MB from the OEM ( Original equipment manufacturer ) like the iBUYPOWER, you may need the new OS, call them to make sure you can or can't use the same OEM win8.1 in the new MB.

Anyway I add list for the MB, cpu, case for you or you can choose other from http://pcpartpicker.com
