Hello everyone.

A the moment I'm trying to build new PC for mostly Gaming and Streaming. I wonder what to get...
Option 1:
INTEL i7 4930k with ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition + EVGA GTX 780 Ti with ACX Cooling + Corsair H100i CPU Cooling
Option 2:
Intel i7 4770K + (need an advice what motherboard to get) + EBGA GTX 780 Ti and COrsair H100i Cooling.

As ye know 4390K is alot more pricy than 4770K but the question is which will be better for gaming and streaming because thats bassicly all i will be doing on it. For how many years will i be covered if i take 4770K and is it worth to pay extra 200Euro to get 4930K ?
Thanks for your help and time.

PS: I also use two 24" monitors

The 4770k has a better single core performance compared to the 4930k, but since the 4930k has better overclocking abilities, you could easily overcome that by overclocking. I would still suggest you go for the 4770k because there is no difference that can be seen performance wise between them both. If you go for the 4770k you will easily be covered for the next 5 years.

Motherboard if you choose the 4770k: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/25Cee

Hope I helped :)

You will see almost no difference at all performance wise between a 4770k and 4930k in either gaming or streaming.

Thany You!

Which will be better ?
ASUS MAXIMUS HERO VI (what C2 and non-C2 model? look @ amazon.co.uk) or ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA ?

I also want a good motherboard for overclocking

And will both ofd these wont have problems with my memory G-Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 @ 2133MHz ?



I use BenQ XL2420T (120hz)

at the moment i own i5 3570k with PNY Geforce GTX 570 1024MB and its just not enough..

Yes, but 4930K is LGA-2011 and HERO VI is 1150

would i7 4770K and ASUS FORMULA won't be anough ?

if its really worth to get 4930K instead of 4770K ill take the 4930K because i can get it for only 70 euro more than the 4770K

Is there a huge difference between Asus Rampage IV Formula and Rampage Black Edition ? and what are the differences except the black edition is new

And which one would YOU recommend me to get, i dont really want to pay £100 more but if its really worth it i'll take it

 
The black edition is better for overclocking, but you're not going to get a whole lot higher on it than you would on the non-black edition. Use the extra money for some case fans or a better cooling system or something. The difference will only be .1-.3ghz at the most.
