[SOLVED] Replace z77 motherboard

[alex1980]

My z77 (GA-Z77X-UD5H) died. Initially I wanted to but the same one, but I couldn't find a new one at a low enough price. As I understand, I can't just buy another LGA 1155 motherboard and reinstall all components on it. So here's my question: I have 4x1600Mhz DDR3 memory sticks, GTX970 gpu and i7 processor, and ideally I'd like to keep them all, but consider upgrading the GPU to something better. What would be a new motherboard (preferably <100 GBP) that would be compatible with these devices?
Thanks

none. if you want to keep that cpu. you are stuck with 7x chipset
buy used or upgrade

I assume your i7 is either a 3770k or 3770?

Motherboard chipsets compatible with i7-3770k

I suggest you go to Ebay and search, for example, 'B75 motherboards'.

I think the Z77/Z75 are the only chipsets where you can overclock the i7-3770k, but if you're not planning on OCing, the other ones should be fine.

Just make sure it has 4 RAM slots.

Thanks, so if I upgrade to a modern motherboard, I need a new cup, but I can keep gpu, memory and hdd, right?

I'm looking at this one:

Is it a good replacement?

That board would require a new cpu(8th or 9th gen) and new ram(DDR4).
