I built my rig I think just about 4 years ago. According to the benchmark I sacrificed 10% performance when I chose the i7-970 over the i7-980X while saving $700. I used that savings to get a good Graphics Card. My main purpose is to do video editing. My question is now that the 980X is no longer $1,000 would getting it now for $200 (+/-)...? I didn't plan on yet doing a new build for I do know if I choose new tech as in 4770K or even a 5th Generation CPU I would then be forced into a new motherboard. Whereas, if I chose the 980X I can use my existing MB. Would this be a good by? Or would you suggest to bite the bullet and go for a new build...? Thanks in advance for any replies I may receive concerning this move...
