A while ago I posted on these boards about whether I should upgrade my gfx card or not. Since then, I realized that my mobo(560 nvidia) might be worth upgrading as well. Should i upgrade it, or does it not matter if my motherboard is out of date?

It depends on what it is considered out of date to. What games do you play?
