Hello, I'll be building a pc. It's budget build since I don't live un the US and things are kinda expensive here. I'm coming from a i5-2310 with a gtx 660 and 8gigs DDR3 RAM, so any upgrade will be enormous.
I know the 4790k and 6600(non-k) perform quite close, but the 6600 is 76% of the i7's price, and if I go with the i7 I'll have to pay a bit more for an overclocking MOBO. Also, if I grab the i5-4460(half the price of the i7) I'll have the money to buy a GTX 1070 instead of the 1060 in the other build. Will it be a bottleneck? Will the GTX 1070 be worth it, even on a slower CPU? I only play on gaming. I have a 1080p 120hz monitor (benQ XL2420Z).
PS: Is there anyway I can utilize my old RAM or HD? 2x4GB Kingston DDR3 @1333MHz and a WDC 500GB HD. If I could, it would be actually awesome for the budget.
PS2: These are the only parts I have chosen yet. I'm still open for MOBOs.
