A general answer for now as without reading some reviews I can't recommend a specific one. The Z77 boards won't work as they're socket 1155 but your CPU is 1150. Socket 1150 needs a B87, H87, Z87 or H97 or Z97. The 97 boards were a refresh over the 87 board so have a few extra features. As a general rule the Z boards are the top tier come with everything and have a price to match, B boards are the low spec sacrifice areas to keep them as cheap as possible and H boards are somewhere in the middle. Some of the cheaper / smaller boards will only have 2 RAM slots so something to keep an eye on though I can't think of any consumer board that doesn't have a PCI-E lane so your GPU will fit whichever one you get. As for the cooler - they're not brand specific per se but they are socket specific. Most coolers come with an AMD bracket and Intel - though which intel depends. Some manufacturers will give / sell you other socket brackets which is easier and cheaper than buying a new cooler.

That's great, Dave! Via the FG App

Ha! Sneaky little upgrade there Dave, same CPU as me. Well done, glad it's all fixxored!

This +1

Awesome to hear Dave!

1:26.9 after a few laps tonight. Which I was pleased with as I know theres more I can squeeze. Can do a low 1:26 maybe but I'm unlikely to get much lower than that before Monday. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Really?! Damn that is a nice brucey bonus upgrade.

Well the mobo arrived today which is a great turnaround time. Re-install was reasonably easy (they ought to make motherboard designers remove mobos from cases, that part was a PITA) and, as I type this, everything seems to be running OK One interesting development was that I had to send the board and CPU back together as it was a pre-installed bundle. The board I sent back had a Ryzen 5 2600x 6 core processor...the one it came back with is a Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core processor. Hopefully that's a win 😊 but, if not, at least it works! Thanks again guys for all your help

@IRaMPaGe clip was great, little clips like that are ace to send across to Rich but also what Rich says above is also true and probably easier cos then you don't have to 'time' it, just whenever the match has finished and you know you had a good one or two clips within it just save the last x minutes. You can trim it later on or split it using Share Factory on the Playstation.
