[Edi899]

Hello guys..
I want to ask the best and compatible motherboard for my pc..because my motherboard hv some problem..
I have a fx 8370, vengeance pro 8x2gb pc19200, rx 480 8gb
Which motherboard that can support my procy, especially my ram that hv 2400mhz..
I already read some of them..like asus crosshair v formula (the spec said can support 2400mhz ram) is that true ? Or i must OC it ? I dont like to OC my cpu..but if i must to do it for the better perform, can someone help me with the tutorial too ? Thanks alot..

Pretty much any 990fx board would be good, but I might use this opportunity to upgrade to intel if I were you, the AM3+ platform is pretty much dead. If you absolutely have to get an AM3 motherboard I'd get something like this.

Also, getting support for 2400 MHz RAM is not a good reason to spend an extra $100 on a motherboard, the performance gain will be minimal. Just get something that supports 2000 MHz and, if it doesn't support 2400MHz OC, which is unlikely, just tighten the timings on your RAM and you're get virtually the same performance.

Very very few FX setups can run 2400.

For intel i already see the i5 4690..how about that ? Must i replace my ram too with the pc15000 or pc17000 for the better performance, if i want to stick with my AMD ?

If you're buying the 4690 used and getting a good deal on it then that's great, but otherwise go for the newest platform and get a 6500 or 6600k. The RAM you currently have is fine for either platform, your RAM speed isn't limiting your performance; you'll literally get the same framerates running 1600mhz ram it doesn't matter for games.
