[SOLVED] What motherboard to buy?

[Treadhead]

Looking to finally upgrade My ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 and downsize to a micro-atx. Would like to keep current memory, CPU and graphics.

Current Setup:

• ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 (Socket LGA1155)
• Intel Core i7-3770
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX-1660
• Four DDR3-1600 / PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM UDIMM (Corsair)

I just want a newer mobo and I want to downsize to a smaller form-factor since I have a nice little micro-ATX case I think will work fine in my current space.

I am not a big gamer anymore, mainly just WoW and occasionally CoD.

Looking for advice.

Honestly, would probably be safer to go ahead and upgrade. Swapping the motherboard might not go smoothly with the OS, on top of trying to find a decent MicroATX Z77 or H77 board at this point. New ones are expensive, and taking a risk on a used board...well, anything could happen.

Best on ebay at the moment:

Alternative:

9400F so you can take advantage of faster memory, i5-10400F and a B460 board if you want the latest
