[kostasalex3]

Hello,
I am looking for a good motherboard lg1150 and ddr3 for ram, my budget is around 150euros ,i was thinking buying the ASRock ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 PRO4
, the Asus B85-PRO Gamer Motherboard or the ASRock ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards FATAL1TY Z97 KILLER. If you have any other better reccomendations feel free to post.My only fear is the compatibility with my graphics card which is this one :https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/R7260XDC2OC2GD5/ . I am looking to upgrade soon so also feel free to post any recommandations for a good graphics card , my budget for the graphics card is 150 euros.Thank you guys in advance.

why you wann go with this old hardware? which cpu you´ve got?

maybe B250 (Intel) or B350 (AMD) would be better

I've got the i5 4690k , i am really satisfied with it .Recently my mobo died and i rushed a cheap one for uni tasks but i ve noticed big fps drop in games .I ve have had the msi z97 g45 gaming which was a really good one . I am looking for a mobo with same speeds.

So you had overclocked this CPU with you first motherboard? If not, fps drops won´t go away with a new board. Probably driver issues, if you didn´t reinstall windows with the new board.

Which spare board do you have now?
Some boards need a BIOS update to completely support the Devil's Canyon processor you have.

I actually did not and the funny part was that it was really easy .I am going to install drivers , right now i have the asus b85m-g.Is it better to invest in gpu?

update the BIOS to version 2501 in BIOS using an usb flash drive, unzip the BIOS file to it and get into BIOS. Chose ez flash and chose the File from your USB flash drive.

FYI: Your CPU is fully supported since version 2001

which video card do you currently use?

I've go the R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 (https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/R9270DC2OC2GD5/) .Thanks for your replies!

soo should i upgrade gpu or mobo ? Do u have any good gpu max 140eu .

would get a GPU, but you should get like a GTX1060 to really boost the performance. For 140, it would still be an improvement over the R9 270, e.g.:
