Hi,
a few days ago my motherboard (asrock z77 extreme4) died on me over night.

Now my question is: Do i flip my 3570K and get myself a so.1150 board with a g3258 to overclock (right now i'm kinda on a tight budget) and when boardwell hits i would drop the g3258.
Or do i try to find a z77 board and keep my feet quiet and do a big upgrade later on?

What do i use my system for?

-Picture editing (lightroom/photoshop)
-Games ( BF4,Warframe,GW2)
-Office,Youtube, etc.

Thanks alot in advance!
 
Your 3570K is fine, Haswell doesn't really bring that much extra performance to warrant an upgrade. The only upgrade I'd consider being worthwhile would be Skylake next year, but you should be fine until Skylakes successor (Cannonlake).

That will do just fine. Its a very decent no-frills Z77 board.

Edit; Just noticed you're a new poster, so welcome to the forums... 🙂
 
Thank you, and the others for the fast and warm welcome! 🙂
I just found a good deal on Asus P8Z77-V LX board! yeah!
 
This is very weird. Two or three days ago, my motherboard (same as yours) possibly died as well. I'm still trying to troubleshoot it and I cannot tell if it's my motherboard, PSU, or both.
 
Well, in my case, i first ran the "paper clip"-test on the psu and then hooked it up to my old system which ran a full day without hickups. After that i tried the psu on the asrock board and still nothing.
But we dont seem to be the only ones with this problem, over the past days i have read on multiple forums from dying motherboards.

Thank you, but too late. Tomorrow morning i will flip the switch on the psu and power up the Asus P8Z77-V LX for the first time. I'll report back if it works or if i broke it aswell.. 😉
