I seen they are posted for Gpu vs cpu.

But I need to know, if motherboards is more important then Gpu?
In performances of works, streaming, multi streaming from and to PC, full hd movies maybe go 4K when I buy the 4K led to, and games,

Is it better to have low end or mediums end motherboard and decent medium Gpu.

Eg for i3-4150 processor, would asus h81mk with 1-2gb Gpu will be better
Or. Would gigabyte b85m hd3 without Gpu will be better. If needed add low end 500mb Gpu.

"In performances of works, streaming, multi streaming from and to PC, full hd movies maybe go 4K when I buy the 4K led to, and games,"

Motherboard has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING related to performance of the PC (unless the motherboard is complete trash and is defective, your PC may freeze).

You need the motherboard for its features and for its stability. If you want an i3, just get a good and solid B85 or H81 motherboard. If you want to overclock an i5 or i7, get a good overclocking Z97 motherboard.

Motherboard has NOTHING to do with playing 4K stuff, multi-tasking or anything like that unless you are using integrated graphics on the chip, then you are limited to the ports on the mobo.
 


Thank you for your reply. Surprise I though they would be few reply on this.
I was also thinking on just using intergrate graphic until I find a good Gpu in good prices in used.

Also, was thinking about the stability issue too. Was going for Asrock h81m pro btc first but after reading on new egg I drop it. Was getting almost same price as asus h81mk in used.

Never going to overclock since not going to have time for heavy gaming anymore.



 


If you wanna use integrated graphics and do not game, I would get G4400 or i3-6100 (depending on the level of multi-tasking you do) paired with a cheap mobo and DDR4:

the mother board only affects two things in gaming and really anything one the amount of ram you can have and two the type of cpu. it also is a factor in cpu overclocking.
a cheap 40-70$ motherboard and a 980ti with a i7 5960x would work(but you would be out of your mind to do it) unless you overclock it then there are some issues
 



Okay, never going to overclock and since I got i3-4150 processor, I was thinking was it worth just to get h81 or go for b85.
They are some price differences.
Asus h81m-k
Asrock h81 pro btc HDMI port one.
Gigabyte b85m-hd3.

All three have same things, even ram and slots but differences is that Asrock is full atx and with HDMI port as well,
Asus is mini and without HDMI port and gigabyte is with HDMI and 2 ram slot and mini atx.
Now the reason is these are in used and each is $ 5 differences between them asus being cheap.
Can find gigabyte b85m- d3h or asus b85m-g. As I wanted them in used.

Okay I got it motherboard is for ram capacity and slot and docking for rest.
