Think it is finally time to replace my i7 920. Clocked at 4.2ghz, and paired with eVGA x58 Classified mobo. Sales and crap have given me an itch that needs to be scratched. Just looking for some good bang for buck. No top of the line stuff, but not economy either. Intel only.
4790K what I should be getting? Paired with what mobo? Full water block availability for the mobo would be a nice option, but not sure if I'd even spend the money for one again, so not required.
I haven't researched hardware since 2009. (Just had to look up wtf was the difference between 4790 and 4790K lol)
1) What will you be doing with this PC?
Gaming, pr0n
2) What's your budget?
~$600 total. More if worthwhile.
3) Which country do you live in?
Indiana (Amazon and Newegg tax
)
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?
CPU & Mobo
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?
2x4GB G Skill Sniper 2133
SLI GTX 970
Corsair HX1000W
Crucial 480GB ssd
x2 2TB Samsung hdds
X-fi sound card
Corsair 800D case
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes. CPU will be under water.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Mostly game on 58" 1080p plasma. Don't care about 25x16 30" LCD.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Now.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard?
SLI. Excellent oc'ing ability. Looks cool
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Win7 x64.
