Hi Guys,
So I've decided to upgrade my CPU and Mobo. I'm currently running an i5 4670k @ 4.5 ghz with 8gbs of 1333 ram. The Mobo is and Asus z87-plus.
I've already decided what I'm going to upgrade to which is an i7 5930k, Asus X99-A and 16gb ddr4.
I've checked And I'm confident that there are no issues with my other components. My question is this: can I just replace the Motherboard, CPU and Ram, install the drivers and everything will work fine? Will my programs mess up? Is there anything I should do before I upgrade?
Btw I am doing this because I need and upgrade for my flight simulator as it requires more CPU power than I currently have. I wouldn't be upgrading if it was just for gaming...
Regards,
Tom
