Alright so I'm going to upgrade my mobo.. eventually.I now have MSI MS-7721 A55M-E33. I was looking at the MSI gaming mobos which are pretty good. But now I've got a few questions:
1. If i upgrade my mobo should I wipe my SSD and HDD and reinstall?
2. Is this MSI mobo a good option for a gaming rig? http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43-GAMING.html#overview
3. Should i upgrade my CPU? to either GPU or a better CPU?
I would like to upgrade my video card as well so any suggestions on that would be amazing!
Thank you for your time and help :)
Edit also forgot that general stats would help out: current build
MSI mobo MS -7721
8gig ddr3 3000 ram 2 sticks
AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeon HG graphics 3.40 GHz
Windows 7 64 bit
AMd radeon HD 6670 Video card

What's your budget?
MSI gaming series mobo work very well apart from their irresistible looks.
Ya you would have to upgrade your cpu to an intel LGA1155 socket.
If you install a new mobo then generally people install their windows again( so wipe your ssd).

my budget is very flexible. Im not looking to get the super best or spend $600. something reasonable and good for the money. Ive read some more and MSI for me is probably the best option. Ill look at the intel cpu.
So i would only have to wipe my ssd? and keep the data on my hdd? sounds pretty good to me haha.
for the CPU would i be able to go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116775
and still get the most bang for my buck heheh
Thanks man!
