current rig:
i7 920 @ 3.6
ASUS P6T LGA 1366
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB DDR3 1600
GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2 Radeon R9 280X
i've been wanting to upgrade mobo/cpu for a few years now but the good stuff is so pricy. i think i'm finally ready to drop a couple hundred bucks.
i'm on a pretty tight budget, no more than $300 total, preferrably much...much less
i'm looking at the ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157460 and maybe a 4690k to go with it.
i'm wondering if for that price there would be a better combo to go with, or even how much of a performance increase i'd see. i play alot of FFXIV and WoW-type games and i'm looking to pick up GTA5 in january. all at 1920x1080 with basically maxed settings.
i've found pretty decent deals on both of those here on [H] and ebay so i can get them both for around $300 total.
thoughts?
