I currently have an AMD 1075t overclocked to 3.7 GHz paired with an Gigabyte 870a-ud3. unfortunately the 1075t just doesn't cut it anymore for me, as I play a lot of total war games. I plan on buying a new CPU and Motherboard now, and upgrading my video card when the AMD 8000/Nvidia 700 series comes out. I'm currently using an AMD 6950 2GB, so I'm not in a huge rush to upgrade it. I'm planning on buying the 3570K, and I've been reading this guy's thread http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=729538 for recommendations on motherboards. My question is: What's a good guide on replacing a motherboard, as I have never done it, and are there certain motherboards that are more user friendly when it comes to installing over a previous motherboard? Also, will replacing a Gigabyte with a Gigabyte result in an easier installation? Thanks for any help! Also, I have around $320-350 available for this project. Thanks for any help!
