right, lemme get straight to the point
i want a good CPU for gaming and rendering videos
I currently have a core i5 3340 @ 3.1GHz
and a gigabyte H61M DV2 DVI
8GB RAM Vengeance pro 1866MHz and a GTX 770
750W PSU

I will be playing GTA V hopefully High / ultra settings and when recording at 30 fps
I will be putting some of my own money towards it like £75 or more i dont know yet but just imagine a budget of £500
I want a good gaming motherboard not to fussed about what build it is but i want a durable one that can last a while atleast
and a good CPU for rendering and playing games
i would prefer one that has usb 3.0 plenty of ports for pc fans
alot of sata 3 connectors because amma be needing another HDD soon

For CPU, i7 4790k. Yes, I know the i7 4770, but the 4790k is 10-30 bucks more. Its specs are amazing. For a motherboard a MSI Z97-GAMING 5. This equals up to about 500 dollars. I would highly recommend these parts. Youll be very very happy in the end. The CPU is OP AS HELL, and the motherboard, well, its a really good motherboard. If only your budget was 750, I wouldve recommended the vii hero.

Why are you recommending a overclocking CPU and a motherboard designed for overclocking when OP specifically said that they were not overclocking? Also, there are cheaper motherboards that will perform the same as those two.

Anyways, OP this should be more than enough for you.

This would handle recording at 60fps as long as your GPU could handle it.

First of all, you should be looking for a mobo with sata 6 not 3. Also, usb ports has nothing to do with fans. Here's a tip when looking at motherboards, Higher price generally means more features, not faster performance.

I think he messed up in his formatting; he forgot to press return. He wants a mobo with plenty of fan pins and with some USB 3.0 ports.

I'm pretty sure he means SATA gen 3, which is 6 Gbps. It can be a bit confusing when someone just says "SATA 3," but I always just assume they're talking about the generation and not the max bandwidth.
