    Unless you've still got your Haswell CPU & S1150 board, they're expensive to get used if available.

    Phinx has a dead Z97 board, and is looking at replacing it with Skylake/Kaby Lake due to availability on this thread.

    Although going from Z87/Z97 to Z170/Z270 won't net you a huge gain in horsepower, the on board 'toys' will be better, like improved M.2 support (faster PCI-E rather than SATA) and USB 3.1 etc.
