Ok, stupid question time, why would you want to replace the motherboard but not the CPU, any of the newer motherboards will not take your older CPU anyway.

All the GPU I have been looking at have been PCIe 3.0 so wanted a board for that and was trying to keep price down but think its going to go right up lol

There won't be any noticeable difference between pic 3.0 and 2.0, I wouldn't bother replacing the motherboard.

yeah I've got a pcie 3.0 680 on a 2.0 board. so no worries

could always wait a another year or so and go for a new build.

dont upgrade the cpu, ram or mobo, keep them as they are and upgrade in another year or so.

good choice on the gtx 760, but you wont need the h100I unless you are overclocking.
