Ok so I built a PC back in 2013.
It has a Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard.
And an AMD FX8350 CPU.
They've served me well up to this point, as it's a gaming machine.
For all other purposes I have a Mac Pro.
But, recent power surges have ruined my motherboard, the USB 3.0 ports no longer work.
So I'm taking this opportunity to not just replace it, but move up to an Intel kit.
I'm almost set on what CPU and mobo I'm getting, but I want to get more opinions to make sure I'm going the best route.
Looking at how much better they are, and the prices, the kit I'm looking at now is:
ASUS ROG RAMPAGE V EXTREME
Core i7 5930K
Now, this kit is a 2011-v3 socket kit.
Should I go 1151 instead?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
