I'm getting a really good price on a 4790K chip so I decided to build a new PC. Now I'm learning the chip isn't really that much better than the 3770K I have? lol I'm wondering if it was a waste to build a new pc now.
Anyways, can someone look over my config?
For reference my current PC is
i7-3770K Intel Chip
Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
GTX 670 (I recently upgraded to a Nvidia GTX970 Reference which I will be just putting into the new PC)
G.Skill Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Fractal R4 Case
Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
My GPU is made by Nvidia. I would have really liked to have had the option to upgrade after the whole memory fiasco to the 980GTX by paying the difference, but since I didn't get it from a third party I doubt this is possible. I was thinking about doing SLI for the first time ever, but the memory problem will still be there.
Also the deal I got with the 4790K also extended to a really good price on the 5930K, but I decided to pass on that one. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake? I know the X99 motherboard and memory would have costed more and a hexcore really doesn't have any performance benefits in games at least.
