Well I get quite a bit of stutter in games and I was wondering is it was the cause of my MOBO because its not really a gaming Mobo really, It's an ASUS M4A77T.

Theres really no such thing as a "gaming mobo". And the stuttering is probbaly a gpu issue.

Any component can cause stutter in a game, but I would look to ram and gpu first.

I wouldn't say that. There're lots of motherboards aimed at gamers... You can get a good idea of what's bottlenecking your system by how your system performs. "Stuttering" is generally caused by not having enough memory. When the game needs data that cannot fit in memory, it needs to swap out data for the stuff it needs, and because hard drives are substantially slower than main memory you're going to notice it big time.

Are you trying to say those high end Asus motherboards aimed specifically at gamers offer no performance gain over cheaper motherboards?

They have much more features but your performance should be roughly the same. For example, I can put my X4 965 into the best AMD mobo money can buy, but the processor will still peform the same as it does on my current mobo. If I want better performance, I have to overclock. And, yes, it's true that some motherboards OC much better than others. But that's not to say that you can't buy a cheaper motherboard and still have good overclocking features.

True, but you're more likely to get better outcomes on more expensive motherboards when overclocking, they are made from better quality components and are generally more stable. You're right in saying that unless you use the high end motherboard to push your hardware to the limit, you may as well get a cheaper motherboard.

Mistaken, there will be a performance increase, but it should be minimal, 1 or 2 frames for an extra 100 dollars. Will it be worth it? That really depends on the person.

Not always true, there are some known really good overclocking boards out there that arent the expensive asus ones your thinking. Those are also very expensive because they probbaly have 4 PCI 16x slots or something for quad sli/xfire, and that goes into diminishing returns.

Well it cant be because of my RAM because I have 6GB DDR3 with each running at their default value of 1333Mhz and my Graphics card is a Radeon HD 5770 1GB, so theres plenty of memory there for my games to run off of.

Are you running msi afterburner? there was a little problem with those causing stuttering when using an ati card and remapping the fan through that program. The other idea that i had is check with a program called "gpu-z" and see if the card is accessing the required pci-e lanes it needs. I had a 4890 from xfx that ran like it was perfectly fine but stuttered with poor performance and found out that it was the card not accessing all the pci-e lanes it needed. Btw the memtest suggestion is a really good route too. Like you said you might be running it at its stock frequency but that doesnt mean that the board didnt mess up a latency setting thats causing it. asus boards are notorious for running tight auto settings on ram.

a $50 motherboard will do just fine for all your gaming needs as long as you don't want dual gpus. slowdown is caused by either lack of ram or cpu/gpu.

more features and lots of expansion slots but doesn't give them more performance besides easier overclocking, but a cheap asus or gigabyte board will also have that. .

unless they have a different chipset you wont be seeing performance increases. $100 board with the same chipset will perform the same as the $250 board. Plus I've found expensive boards to be far less stable and have for more problems.

I was thinking of buying thishttp://www.ebuyer.com/product/206344because I was thinking of crossfiring 2 6870's in the near future, but if I crossfire will it require more cooling (e.g. water cooling) because I have 4 case fans at the moment, well 5 if you count the one at the front of the case.

I wouldn't think so, just keep the fans running and don't overclock them.
