I purchased an i7 4790 for my Alienware Alpha. When I tested, I didn't really see any framerate increases, so I built a PC (kept the Alpha with the i3) and now have a full gaming PC.
Specs:
i7 4790
MSI Z97M Gaming Motherboard
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
16GB DDR3 Corsair 16GB 1866MHz Ram
Noctua NH-U12S Cooler
EVGA SuperNova 850 G2 PSU
Crucial MX100 256GB SSD
I was wondering what is next in-line for the LGA-1150 socket, or is the i7 4790k the end of the line? I was thinking of upgrading to the next round of processors for this socket, and moving this one to the Alpha, but if this is it. I'll just buy a middle road i5 for the Alpha and call it a day.
