    Need advice on the upgrade debate (to switch from LGA775 or not to switch).

    I've got the i5-4460 and h81m-k, 1600Mhz 8GB Hyperx RAM. Everything is way too fast to be true. Night and day difference. Too bad I hear a coil whine now. Looks like the tales about Zalman being not good with PSUs seem to be too true. Got a great Chieftec GDP-650C PSU instead and KFA2 1050ti...

    I would appreciate if you read a bit of this first. Good day, gentlemen. I'm about to upgrade my gaming rig, I've been delaying it as much as I could until I get some sort of budget. If you didn't read the topic from above, I was thinking about reviving my lga775 (ASUS P5Q SE PLUS) with...
