Which motherboard should i go with?

Well i have atm DX58OG , for me , it's a pretty low end MB for gaming; if i had.. let's say 350$ to waste, what motherboard should i get? i have an i7 950, i don't have plans to upgrade to a third gen i7 because , it's upgrading an i7 to an i7 , which sound pretty stupid to me, i want to look for a good motherboard that supports my 950, with PCIe 3.0 so i can upgrade my other components as time goes \o/

Not upgrading i7 to i7 but wana waste 350$ on an even more useless upgrade...don't get the logic here :|

Umm, it's just that i don't know if id ever get like 700$ to buy a cpu and a MB at the same time, I ain't rich :s, thought there was some kind of motherboard out there thats supports my i7 but with better tecnology

What you are trying to do is illogical.

to get a motherboard that supports your current cpu is to upgrade to a motherboard with a dead socket. So you wouldn't be able to get the faster i7s at a later date anyway without upgrading your motherboard again

Also, let's say that isn't a dead socket (which it is) upgrading your motherboard will net you about ZERO performance improvement but going from a 950 to a 2500k or an ivybridge is a much more significant upgrade than that.

Those won't work on your motherboard anyway though.

If you have 350 dollars to throw into the wind, I would get:

1) a new graphics card

2) Nothing else
