Good purchase?

[BelgiumCast]

Hey everyone!

I'm going to do an upgrade in my system, the plan is to buy an i7-4790k, an msi z97s SLI krait edition mobo and a h100i GTX cooler.

Is this a good purchase or should i get a diffrent cpu or mobo?

Note: I'm not getting the Skylake processors since i would have to get new ram too then and I'm going for a white/black color sceme.

If possible, please use party i can get in belgium... So most likely no Amazon. Please check on this site: http://www.alternate.be it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Ok thanks you, i was just not sure about the motherboard ;-) thanks for the quick reply

[minibois]

Yeah, it's really good but do you need an upgrade really?

CPU should still perform good.. only thing you will get out of it is .. a quieter system because the cooler and the ability to OC

i like the colour scheme on that motherboard, together with some custom black and white sleeved cables it would be very sexy.

Looks good, but despite what you said I think It'd be a good idea to go Skylake, it's always better for 'future-proofing' to get the latest chipset.

its what 5-10% better and costs how much more? i think skylake is pointless.

It's not "pointless."

There's just no need to rush and upgrade right now. Or if you're on a tight budget.

Well, i do quite a bit of 3D rendering so i need all the performance i can get ;-)

Prices of new harware are insane in belgium, i would pay about 30 percent more on the cpu and motherboard if i were to get Skylake... Not mentioning ddr4 ram

I just think, you're not on that bad of a chipset at the moment, devil's canyon would kind of be pointless, I'd be looking at a bigger jump seeing as skylake is like, not that much more.

I forgot to mention that ill be using my current cpu in a build for a friend... Sales him some money and gives me the optioneel for an upgrade ;-) thats the 'zin reason im upgrading

Alright, that's what I needed to know. If you were 'just' a gamer, this would have not been worth a whole lot.
