October 27, 20187 yr If you want to stick with the 1150 mobo, the short answer is no. I have the same CPU and checked this out just last week. I have decided to stay with it until next year sometime since I am very pleased with the performance at 1080P (specs in signature below).

October 28, 20187 yr Author I'll keep it until its not longer capable of powering my system with monitors resolution of 2560 x 1440, just thought I'd test the water for a quick upgrade. YBCG
October 28, 20187 yr What video card are you using? I have a 1070 and am happy with the performance!

October 28, 20187 yr Author I have a 1060, which I'm also happy with, would like a 1080 or new 20 series but they are way out of may budget. YBCG
November 6, 20187 yr Apparently there is a new version of the 1060 coming with the 5X ram as opposed to the basic 5. Supposed to be a nice improvement to the 1060. Dave

Dave If it's anything like the GDDR5X version of the 1080 (I have the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus), you're probably looking at about a 5% improvement over the standard GDDR5 version. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
