    Hi all. I am rma ing my asrock extreme 4 am3 board and was going to jump ship to intel while im at it and sell my old fx 6300.
    Anyone got a recomendation for a new z97 board or similar. Will be doing some overclocking as well.
    Will a 450w superflower be up to the job? Gpu is a 7870xt which will upgrade in a few months if the newer cards prove to be a major jump up and are a reasonable price.
    Any good bundles out there?

    Will i see much of a boost in performance with this upgrade?

    Thanks folks

    I was thinking of going for something like a MSI gaming 5 board but not sure if they are any good or just overpriced.

    The MSI MPower Z97 Seems like a good board for the price.
    You should check it out!
    Hope you build works out for you!

    450W is loads for a single GPU build.

    I've a gigabyte GA Z97P D3 I'm happy enough with, the ASRock Extreme 3s review well too
