How is my upgraded rig

[c2yCharlie]

Hello,

I have a haswell rig which I will be upgrading over the weekend. Here are my new parts.

i7 4790k
gtx 960 4gb

I wont be overclocking the cpu but i am going for it because it runs at 4 - 4.5 ghz turbo. I am interested in i7 because newer games tend to use the threads advantage and the performance of the overall system improves by lot.

How is my rig? Please tell me.
Thanking all of you.
Bye.

What games are you thinking of playing because I can't think of any which will benefit from the I7 hyper threading and it might be cheaper to go for an I5 if you are wanting to play games.

Better to go with a GTX970 and an i5.

How is the rig? You only listed 2 parts... As said, I5 and GTX 970 = better combo.

If your not overclocking and wanted the additional HT of a i7 why not go with a Xeon 1231 V3? It will save you money that you could use for a better GPU.
