4820k vs xeon 1231 vs 4690k

[ponyboarder]

I have a friend willing to sell me his 4820k and x79 mobo for 300, or I could just get a z97 for xeon, or trade for 4690k

What should I do?

$300 is a decent price for a 4820k + X79

What would you do? You seem pretty knowledgable on my situation. I need SLI and ill only run two HDD and SSD at a time, but i have 16gb ddr3 2133 ram

What are the rest of your parts and budget?

 

[ponyboarder]

780 ti, Asus Xonar Sound Card, 512gb SSD (buying now), 500gb dump drive, corsair 540 case, thermaltake 750w Gold 80+

Im about to get the 4820k combo....

 

[CTurbo]

Yeah I'd go with the 4820k combo

 

[ponyboarder]

Just an afterthought, what about a z97 with an i7-4790k

 

[DubbleClick]

Nice option too but you won't get that cheaper than $400.

Yeah 4790k + Z97 would be better but much more expensive.
