Hello.
Having a very similar question i decided not to create a new thread.
My current build is Core i5 2500k@4.5GHz, 8GB DDR3, GTX780, ga-z68x-ud3h-b3 mobo and it was intended for gaming.
Some time ago i shifted to creative work (Maya, After Effects). So, is this a good upgrade? i7 4790k, 16GB DDR3, asus maximus vii / z97-pro.
I understand that 6 or 8 core haswell-e would be better but i'd like to stick to +/- 900$.
or maybe there's a better choice of components?
Please help me choose.
