Hi guys,
I am getting to a point where I am starting to think about replacing my current system. It's running an i7-3820 and a SuperJetstream GTX 980, 32gb of DDR3 ram etc. I have been using it for 5 years or so and think it is time to move on.
I'm an 18 year old, not earning massive amounts, paying car bills, phone bills etc and as a result I think my best option is to slowly piece together a PC rather than ordering cheaper parts to put together soon. I currently use a 1080p monitor and have no plans of upgrading. I do not do any rendering of any sorts and the PC will be used for gaming only as well as university work. I had been looking at a 5960x or a 6700k, but wanted advice on whether spending the money on either of these is worth it, or whether I would be better looking at an i5. Any other part recommendations, especially mobos are always welcome.
Thanks
