CPU MOBO RAM Prices dropped! HELP CHOOSING! I5 4690K VS I5 4460 BUILD

[Vijay Jadhavar]

I have a few choices

i5 4690K vs i5 4460
Price 16399 vs 12971

Asus MAXIMUS VII Ranger - Z97 chipset vs Asrock H97 Pro4 vs Asus H97-Pro GAMER

Price 13,000 vs 7,873.00 vs 11,750

I have no idea of overclocking. But I am buying 970 soon. I will save a lot of money (137.274 US Dollar) in the second option. What should I do?

If you have the budget, the best option is the i5 4690K and the Z97 mobo.
This will give you better performance, and the ability to overclock in the future.

But what if I don't want to overclock? Would Asus Maximus VII Ranger and i5 4460 be ok? I want to change to i7 in future

That combination will work, but doesn`t make a lot of sense.
If you will go later on for and i7, will you overclock it?

If you don`t want to overclock, you can go for an i5 4690 (non-K) and an H97 motherboard.

Yes I will overclock when I get i7. Thank you so much! You really helped a lot 😀

If you will overclock the i7, make sure you get the i7 4790K version, and a Z97 mobo, like the Asus Maximus VII Ranger.
