So I have been out of the build scene for long enough now I am finding myself racking my head when looking at new parts. I was honestly looking at AMD to start because I have always been a huge fan of it however one thing that is getting me is the lack of ddr4 and with the fact that I use a lot of photoshop and cpu based applications. I am still a heavy gamer so I want kind of the best of both worlds hints looking at intel at this point I however have run into that same question many of us have had time and time again every build.
What chipset should i use what socket should I use a never ending question when anyone talks builds. I am torn between getting a 9 series chipset because its going to give me more options at lower prices but at the same time I kind of want to get a 1151 socket because its going to future proof the system for upgrades later which again moves me to the 100 series chipset.
I am not only having issues deciding on all this but I am having issues deciding which motherboard to even CONSIDER which is just driving me up the wall. I was considering the asus z170-a originally however I have really moved away from that as an option while I REALLY like most of its options I find myself bumping my head when I look at it against boards like the sabertooth z170 mark 1 but then I run into yet another issue the ram.
I was going from a planned 3333 to a 2400 thats not really sitting well with me I hate how limit the board is when it comes to memory options so now I am going balls to the wall and looking at the maximus vii extreme board by asus. Give me an okay selection of memory options while giving me enough options to be happy.
That all being said what motherboards do you guys think I should be looking at and is the 1151 socket worth it at the current moment or should I camp out a little longer?
