    All of them will. Anything with the LGA1151 socket compatibility will fit. Keep in mind a "K" CPU will be useless in your board. It'll function perfectly, but those CPUs are for overclocking, and as such, won't overclock on your board. For that, you need a "Z" motherboard.

    As long as the new mobo has the same 1151 socket you will be fine.

    I would stick with your current board. I have the next step up from it (the H170M-D3H, recommended) running in a system now and it's good. I would recommend going for the i5-6600 non-K. It comes with a cooler, it's cheaper overall, and will perform the same, you just can't overclock it. Take the savings you get there and invest in a better GPU than a 750Ti. I would recommend the GTX 950 (Go EVGA for the brand). I would also recommend going for an EVGA 500B power supply. It has better internals, it's more efficient, and it has some protection in case something goes wrong.

    And for a cooler (because using the stock one would be suicide), your second link would fit the budget better. But I would highly recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I have one in my main rig, it has 2 Corsair SP120 fans installed on it, and I run an overclocked "K" series i5 very cool.

    at the price point, nothing beats the hyper 212 evo. The thing is nuts with the stock fan let alone the also reasonable dual sp120 upgrade.

    off topic a bit but edge is not as good as it seems, especially for relatively low ram devices such as my red transformer book that has 2gb, it always has the tabs open and doesnt close them, chrome closes the tabs if there is limited ram and it also saves CPU, Edge slows my whole system to a crawl, although this might be to blame because its currently 40c outside and i might be themrally throttling

    I've had exact opposite experience in my 1gb ram tablet with chrome hogging resources and slowing system to a crawl while edge works

    I've found that Chrome is the most intensive browser you can get, willingly using as much RAM as it could need. Not once has it closed tabs on me, nor should it. It is a resource hog, but that's what makes it fast. Firefox is what I recommend for low power devices.

    Well, depending on what you have, it could just be old and inefficient. You could also have a virus or two, hard to tell, really. What's your current CPU?

    Yup, if you look in my signature, you'll see I have one of those running in that Gigabyte board I mentioned previously. It's a Dual-Core CPU, that's your problem.

    I'd upgrade to that i5 soon, mate.

    Ok, very good. You'll see an amazing performance increase.

    I hope I was helpful to you.

    I have been wanting to collect calculators for a while, but could never find a good deal. so when i saw this for 3 dollars at a goodwill, i grabbed it. Works great, though i cant figure out how to add or subtract. :p . When i add or subtract it appears to equal 0. multiplication and division work fine. i am most likely not using it correctly

    Today, I drove 2 hours round trip to buy this. It's an ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA, on of the most difficult motherboards ever made to find. It features support for every LGA 775 CPU (and LGA 771 mod) made, supports DDR and DDR2 ram, supports AGP/PCIe/PCI graphics, supports IDE/SATA RAID.

    This is one of the holy grail motherboards. Go, look on eBay, you'll find 4 of them. That's it, and they're all much more than I paid for this combo deal. Included hardware is low(er) end, being a Pentium D 950 and 2GB of DDR2 667MHz ram. But I don't care. I bought the board. I'm shoving a core 2 quad in it, a GTX 950, max DDR2 ram (I think 4GB) and turning it into a lan gaming box. The flexibility is nice, because when hardware dies, I can just buy literally whatever is cheap and install it.

    are 970s and 980s nvidia cards still a good buy? because where I buy my parts normally they have a sale on them currentlya MSI Geforce 980 4GB (not Ti) costs 300€ and a 970 4gb costs between 229€-279€

    You can find 900 seiries cards for cheaper than that. Buying a 980 or 970 for that price would be a waste when you can get a 1060 for less. The 1060 gets slightly better performance than the 980.
