    Upgrade Dilemma

    in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory

    Posted

    I'd say CPU Upgrade, although you don't list how much RAM you have...

     

     

    i5 4790k? Since when did that magic exist?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The only processors I know exist are either the i5 4690k or the i7 4790k.

     

     

    Go rather with the CPU and mainboard.

     

    Personaly i would try to get the most money out of the 770 and i would get a radeon R9 290 along with a core i5-4670K :) but that's just me...

    I doubt that the FX is bottlenecking the 770 in most games, so unless you play a lot of MMO's or single-threaded CPU intensive games i just really don't see any reasons why you would want to upgrade that...Also for gaming 8gb is all you need...16gb is useless as no games as of today uses more than 5GB including os and shit running in the background...i would defenetly upgrade to a better GPU, what resolution are you playing at?

    Thank you all so much for your help!

    I have one last question that is aching me -

    Is this a solid motherboard for the 4690k? (At Micro Center it is only $89)

    For some reason I feel hesitant to go to the dark side! :P

    So I have quite a predicament -

    (See Specs in my signature)

    Soooo I have gotten some money from my job this summer

    (Yes I worked at a fireworks stand)

    I have the lucky option either to upgrade to 16 gigs of RAM (Link)

    Or I can get myself a Z97 G45 and a i5 4690k

    So my budget is 350 bucks at Micro Center the g45 and 4790k cost about $330-$345 bucks (USD)

    and the RAM costs about $150

    So I can only get one of those options due to my tight money situation

    Which option would you recommend?

     

    All Help and suggestions are Welcome!
