New PC Build!

[Squida]

Hello, I am looking to upgrade from an Intel i7 960 3.2 Ghz, Asus Rampage III Gene, Corsair Dominator 12GB 1600Mhz (XMP).

I am from Australia so need to know pricing in AUD if it can be done please and I only need the 3 parts upgraded, the rest is fine and I have a full tower case.

At the moment I am looking at the parts listed below.

1. ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z

2. AMD FX-9590 8 Core Black Edition Processor with Liquid Cooler

3. G.Skill Ares F3-1866C10D-16GAB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3

I would like some help with improving my selection for better performance and even O/C Ability my budget is about 1000 bucks can go a couple of 100 more if it will be major improvements from what I have selected above.

Overall I would like it to be a lot better then the Intel i7 960.

Hi, What are you using the PC for?
If games, then I suggest postponing the upgrade for 1-2 years, if your PC still works.

Gaming, And 3d Modeling / Unreal Engine Software is going to be used.

Also the current system is getting passed down, minus some parts.

interesting read I may wait for that but are we able to buy a motherboard yet that supports 1151 socket and is there any news on upcoming AMD CPUs because I am not fussed on the company I go with when it comes to CPU I just want more bang for the buck and being 2H 2015 what is that exactly?

For AMD - 2016, it seems.
