For $150 and maybe I might buy the MOBO along with it for only $70 BUT the CPU for sure . The mobo is not a good over clocker mobo so I'm REALLY hoping hes on the level with me . He also had it with a 120mm aio so there's that . My Know it all house mate has the same CPU she bought new last year and says it's probably a scam . I on the other hand think she's envious . lol
ALSO would said CPU be as fast or faster than a Ryzen 7 2700X that I also have in a new gaming rig .
Feedback or advise is welcome ...TROLLS are not . lol
I also have a question about the socket mother boards for 1150 to 1151 . My roommate had a i5 3430 which I understand is a 1150 socket ? BUT she was running it on a 1151 mother board . HOW is that possible unless she isn't telling me the truth OR is dumber that I thought she was . I'm not an expert by far but is that even possible ?
I want to thank all of you for the input .
UPDATE I understand how AMD went into a slump before the 4790K was released to retail sales . My biggest concern was IF the 4790K and mobo the guy said he would sell me for $170 was a good deal because of the age of it . If the mobo is not good for overclocking I would try to squeak out a bit more from it still . He also has a Corsair 240mm aio he would let go for $60 that I might also add to it for the overclock . That said I would possibly swap cases with the new gaming rig to add the 4790K and use the RTX 2070 from the 2700X build with the 4790K overclocked . I'm sure the 2700X would be fine matched with a 2060 .
On a different note … I'm still trying to wrap my head around WHY would my house mate/landlord would buy a NEW 4790K at full price($500+) when for $500+ when for gaming she could have gotten a 8700K (much newer technology ) for $370 . It just makes no sense to me . lol OH btw she also told me she is a computer tech and ALSO told me to NEVER use a blow dryer to dry any parts from cleaning because the magnets in the electric motor would create a magnetic field on the parts rendering it unusable ( her words ) lmao HA HA HA . She also when building the SAME PC she installed a 1150 socket chip on a 1151 socketed mobo had trouble getting it to boot and didn't understand why . Till she mentioned it to me and after asking 20 questions I told her the 300wat PSU she was trying to use was not enough . she got a 500wat and it works . lol I'm 58 years old and SHE'S 25 . I have installed many electronic and electrical parts and wires with no problems as long as you take measures to defuse any static that might be caused . lol
Thought you guys might get a kick out of that .
Again I thank you all for any knowledge/input you have for me being a Novice I STILL have questions at times about things that I will admit I'm no expert at . I thank you ALL .
