    Question To do it or no...

    Planning to sell my Desktop PC and to buy:
    1. Cheap laptop and XBOX One/PS4
    2. Gaming laptop

    PC specs:
    i7 3770
    GTX 970 4GB
    RAM DDR3 8GB
    SSD for Windows and 2TB HDD
    NZXT H440 case

    Why do I want to do it? Tired of upgrading this fucker and it's impossible to find new MB for this socket (1155).

    Share your opinion, please

    Upgrade your MB + CPU and that's it. You'll have a pretty high-end gaming PC, which runs all games from this moment on Ultra. Save your money on a laptop, it's more expensive for less performance.

    Don't ever game on a laptop !!! Trust me, I used to have a desktop and I sold it (1000€) to buy a gaming laptop (~1400€).
    I did that cause I wanted to be able to carry it around but I regret it as far as the performance is concerned.
    So, If I were you , I would just upgrade the motherboard and the CPU.

    Sell the motherboard and cpu to some electronics store and buy yourself a Z170 chipset motherboard and a LGA 1151 cpu.

    Look on newegg, they cpu+mb combos.
    If you want to save money, get a cheap gigabyte motherboard with an i5 6500
