Graphics card and CPU advice
I'm building a new rig soon and I was wondering if anyone has any advice/an opinion on GPU and CPU choice.
The current build I am planning involves an i7-4790k and an MSI GTX980. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/X4vKQ7
What do you think of the price to performance difference between an i5-4690k and an i7-4790k?
What do you think of the price to performance difference between an MSI GTX 970 and an MSI GTX 980?
Is the extra money I am thinking of spending worth it to "future-proof" my build more?
Or am I wasting my money for not much of a boost in performance?
At the moment it's around a £300 increase to get the i7 980 over the i5 970.
Should I get a different combination e.g. i5 980?
Any advice or opinions will be appreciated!
Edit: Whilst I'm here, does the 360mm AIO seem overkill? Should i just get a 240mm or 280mm instead?
there is next to no difference in performance between the 4690k and the 4790k when gaming and in general use, But if you want to use ur rig for other things like editing etc then the i7 would make sense. If you are running at resolutions over 1440p or even at 1440p then i would go for 980 and the i5
