Hey guys. I just did another build for my brother and got some super helpful responses on here so now I'm ready to do my PC. This will be a PC for general work, light gaming, Photo editing. I'm undecided between the i7-4770k and i7-4930k. Is the boost I'm going to get worth the $300 in PC and few hundred to upgrade mobo? Games will mostly be MMO/wildstar/League of legends type stuff. Will the dell U2412M 8ms be able to handle this? Was thinking of going with two of them. Photo editing will be either PS or LR, It's been a while since I've done much of it. Also, the 3tb seagate drive seemed to be the cheapest $/GB, anything wrong with it? Don't see many 3gb drives. Also, possibility of SLI down the road, does everything look okay if i decide to do that? May add a scratch drive and/or Raid for the storage drive down the line. Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks much. (updated with a couple of suggestions from DeadGraphics)
