Long story short, went to repair my computer to discover I need a new computer. Currently sitting on a new gtx 970 and 1000w gold supernova psu needing to buy ram, cpu and mobo. I'll use existing haf cooler master case and liquid cpu cooler.
My initial thoughts were to pick up an msi 97 gaming 5 motherboard, 12gbs of ripjaw or gskill snipers, and a 4790k Devils canyon quad core.
Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't get an i7 5820k and 2011 socket mobo instead.
My questions:
Will the extra cost be worth it?
If so, what's a decently priced and reliable 2011 mobo?
What's some decent ram to pick up for this setup anywhere between 8 and 16gb?
Things to consider:
I'm looking to get 2-3 years of decent performance and possibly add or upgrade video cards at a later date. Ideally, throw another 970 in there.
Agghhh, the headache of not having purchased hardware in years.
Thanks everyone who helps
