Hi everyone!
So, I am looking to upgrade from my current AMD FX-6350 to an Intel CPU. Currently, I'm looking at the i7-4790k and the i7-5820k, as well as a Corsair h100i GTX to cool the CPU, as I will be doing some overclocking. So, here's the thing: since I have to get a new mobo anyways, should I still stick with the -4790k, or just throw down the extra cash and go for the -5820k? It'll be roughly $230 USD more for the x99 build.
Other thoughts:
I'd be getting 16gb of DDR4, the ASUS x99-A mobo for the, obviously, x99 build, or the ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero for the z97 build. Also, theoretically, if I go with the z97 build, I could get a second GPU and run SLI.
Furthermore, my current system specs are:
AMD fx-6350, OC'd to 4.2ghz
Hyper212 EVO
16gb DDR3
MSI NVidia 970
Corsair HX1050 PSU
Corsair 500r Black case with window side-panel mod
Widows 10 64bit Pro Edition
