So, I'm kind of in a tug-of-war battle with myself and am looking for some help.
My Macbook Pro is over 6 years old, and is finally on its way out the door, so I want to upgrade to a custom built desktop (considering I will get a work laptop when I start)
Now, I know Skylake is in the near future, and Cannonlake is in 2016- so I was trying to navigate a build around ''possibly'' waiting for the cannon; however, I'm a budget killer and IDK if it's possible for me to create a build that won't have to be completely remodeled anyway for when cannonlake drops.
If someone has a suggestion about a workaround for this, please let me know- but I tried to make a less powerful PC for cheaper in anticipation; however, it came out to literally one dollar off.
So without further ado, my original build, versus my (attempting to wait for cannonlake) build.
Build 1:
Case: Enthoo Pro - 100$
CPU: Intel 5820k - 390$
MOBO: Asus Rampage V Extreme - 540$
Memory: G.SKILL Trident X (2x8GB) DDR3 2400 - 120$
Storage(1): Samsung Evo 850 120GB SSD - 68$
Storage(2): Samsung Evo 850 512GB SSD - 178$
GPU: GTX 970 - 310$
PSU: (Friend is giving me his old 1000W Gold Rated for free)
Build 2:
Case: Enthoo Pro - 100$
CPU: 4790k - 330$
MOBO: Maximus VII Hero - 210$
Memory: G.SKILL Trident X (2x8GB) DDR3 2400 - 120$
Storage(1): Samsung Evo 850 120GB SSD - 68$
Storage(2): Samsung Evo 850 512GB SSD - 178$
GPU: Gigabyte 980ti G1 - 690$
PSU: (Friend is giving me his old 1000W Gold Rated for free)
So, clearly the cost here is marginal... But keep in mind my "potential" to want to switch to cannonlake; although I'm not 150% sure I would make the switch anyway depending how happy I am..
THANK YOU SO MUCH TOMS, yall are the the best!
