Help Picking Out Motherboard Upgrade

[barnes8766]

I would like to upgrade to my motherboard to one with a thunderbolt port. Can someone please recommend a motherboard that will work with my current CPU and RAM. I prefer it to be a Gigabyte motherboard since that is what I have been using.

Current build:
Motherboard: GA-Z77-DS3H OSX 10.11
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770
Graphics: GeForce GTX770
Other Hardware: SATA 6Gb/s 240GB SSD
HyperX 32GB Kit

That will be difficult since your CPU is quite old. Socket 1155 motherboards compatible with your CPU are no longer available new and you will have to find second hand ones. The GA-Z77X-UP5 TH is such a motherboard with Thunderbolt onboard.

I guess I'll have to upgrade my CPU then. Too much Xmas shopping to do right now to afford the upgrade. I'll have to dive in and try to get USB 3.0 working properly on my current build.
