980 TI Upgrade question.

[Oateybeans]

Alrighty boys and girls! I need some advice. I've done it.

These our my current specatonies for my PC

Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
Corsair Vengeance 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1600MHz (9-11-11-29)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z87-HD3 (SOCKET 0)

I've just gone out and bought another 8GB of Corsair Vengenace. A NZXT S340, A h100i watercooler to do a tad of overclocking just to get it smooth again. And an Asus Strix 980 ti Gaming 6gb GPU. I know I need to get a new motherboard so I might not start my build until I do.

I might be purchasing an MSI Z97S SLI Krait

for the new build and then since I'm running a 600w CX600 I'm upgrading it to an EVGA 850 for the future. What do you guys think? Is it alright at the moment, should I upgrade my motherboard and then start the build or carry on with the one I have.

Nothing wrong with you GB board so why do you need new?

 

[Oateybeans]

I was just wondering if the newer one would be more efficient, just incase I get shouted at. xD

Then you didn't actually know if you needed a new motherboard. There is 0 reason for you to upgrade to a newer z97 board unless you simply want to.

Your board is fine for a single GTX980Ti setup so stick with it.

I use a z87 and a 4670 I I would not think that a 980ti would be a issue ? I'd slap it in and let her rip ?? matter of fact I'm considering the hybrid [waiting to see if the newer led shroud will be standard with later releases or the free deal comes back after the x-mas sales are over and it goes back to 689$....??? ] LOL.. pulling the trigger is hard to do at times, and my card now still does all I ask of it ??

anyway as rolli59 said I don't think you should have any issue with what you got

when you think about it the z97 is just a refresh of the z87 as haswell refresh chips and now most all z87 has bios updates as like your chip to support the refresh chips ?? so what do you gain ?? little to nothing much a feature or 2 ? refresh support out of the box ??
