Hi all, I want to upgrade my current rig. This is what I currently have:
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 Haswell Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 280X DirectX 11.2 R9-280X-TDFD 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series 550W 80 Plus Gold Certified ATX12V/EPS12V
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3
Case: CORSAIR CARBIDE 330R Mid-Tower Case - Blackout Edition
Cooler: CORSAIR h100i
I write software and need multiple multiple instances of IntelliJ Idea, and I also play a lot of Guild Wars 2. I figured I might need a new i7, more ram and a better GPU (I'm thinking GTX1080). Any suggestion on what I should keep, and what I should upgrade? base on what I've researched so far, I think I'll need a new Motherboard that supports LGA 1151 because that's the socket all the new CPUs are using.
Edit: Budget is $1000
