Motherboard Upgrade

[DJ85]

would i be beneficial upgrading my motherboard?
What would i achieve from doing it is there any performance upgrade as such or is it merely just the board to power the rest of your components. i built my computer this time last year and its still holding up fine, but i've been reading that my mobo is more of a budget board. so would a gaming mobo do anything different. Also some people say my board will handle 16GB some say 32GB RAM. and what about GPUs does any board handle any card? GTX v AMD.
my setup so far is,

- Case: Thermaltake Core V21
- Power Supply: EVGA 500W
- CPU: Intel Core I5 7500 Quad Core 3.8Ghz
- GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Zotac mini (waiting for 1070 prices to lower)
- Motherboard: H110M Motherboard
- Cooler: Corsair H45 120mm Liquid Cooler
- RAM: DDR4 Dual Channel Kit - 16gb crucial
- Hard Drive: 254gb samsung pro, 2x 1TB Firecuda Hybrid SSD
- Sound: 5.1 HD Audio
- Network: Gigabit Lan
- Monitor: AOC G2790PX (new addition)

Funny enough i just went on and ordered all the parts again for curiosity as it was exactly a year ago and its came in a good 200 dearer! just shows.

for the time being no - but worth pulling up CPU and GPU usage via monitoring programs to see what percentage of the CPU is being used against the GPU in the games that you play .
if you see 100% CPU load and low GPU load then it might be worth considering changing but i dont think this would be the case yet.
also games that are less GPU intense - upscale either in game resolution or via geforce program to make the GPU work harder then the CPU.
27" at 1080p most likely you'll have AA (antialiasing) settings on High to make the larger pixels appear less pixelated as well as AF settings

Ive been having this problem with my new laptop (another thread) but think its sort of sorted i am needing to do a few more tests today. The only reason im asking is that, after getting my new laptop i prefer gaming on it now. it does have a 1070 so you would expect it to be better but still, but i dont want anything holding back my desktop performance wise. looking to see if anything would give it a kick.
