Any motherboard can be used with any wattage PSU. No need to change the motherboard because of a higher wattage PSU.

thnks a lot for clearing this, also could you please let me know if the motherboard mentioned above can handle the load for the entire config I mentioned above as I wll be running high end games at max config. I am quite new to gaming and do not want to make fatal mistakes in config, therefore I would appreciate if you can just give a cross check and see if the config is ryt.

Thanks a lot

It is a low end motherboard but it will be fine. No problem

Could you suggest a more powerful motherboard in the mid range.

"more powerful" is not really something you would say about a motherboard. You would say higher quality, more stable, more features.

If you wanted to upgrade the board, you would want an h97 chipset board. like the ASRock h97 pro4m.
