[synnchan]

Hi. According to my speccy info, my motherboard is a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) (MS-7788) (SOCKET 0). I currently have a Intel Core i5 3330 @ 3.00GHz with it, and I want to upgrade to a Intel Core I7 4790k 4.4ghz 8mb Lga1150.

Will my motherboard work with it?

No. Your MB has LGA1155 socket while i7-4790K requires LGA1150.

NO. That is an LGA 1155 motherboard. The i7-4790k is LGA 1150.

Can you guys recommend a good MB to go along with it then? Hopefully not too expensive so I can afford it.

I have to ask... how much are you willing to spend on the MB? Also, would you like it to be SLI/Crossfire capable? The size of the MB should be considered too as it depends on your case. List your system's full specifications so we can have a better overview.

Well... [strike]I guess if it's around the same price as the processor, I could buy it. I don't understand much about motherboards.[/strike] Nevermind, I just checked the price of LGA 1150 motherboards and they're not expensive at all. Just recommend me something good enough to go with the processor. (I suck with motherboards).

@Case and RAM:

I'm not sure how I'd find info about my case. How can I find it out?

I've already reported the RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
