Okay, so I built my own PC about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, it hasn't been preforming to it's value since I got it and that is due to the fact I accidentally kind of ripped the main PCI-ex16 slot off so my card is currently in the backup x16 slot which is running on PCI 2.0 instead of 3.0 and it is only using the x4 bus interface which essentially means my graphics card and PC are running at a quarter of its expected performance. I need a new motherboard. No doubt but to send my current one back to MSI would cost 50 quid just for shipping. Gotta love Ireland. At that price I might aswell cough it up and buy a new one. Any suggestions that are relatively cheap, possibly z97 like my current one, red and black maybe. MSI if possible. Or do any of you lovely people have a motherboard you don't use anymore you could sell to me for cheaper? Obviously, has to work like normal but might work out better for me. Based on Socket 1150 as I have an i5 4690k
