Hey, guys. I have a question. Currently I have my APU and a GTX 760. I'm looking to get the ASrock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer and a 4770k. But for the same price I can upgrade my CPU to a Athlon x4 750k and get a EVGA GTX 770 superclocked. Which shall I do?

CPU: Intel Devil's Canyon i7 4790k | GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 (will get 880) | MoBo: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | Keyboard: Razer Anansi | Drives: SanDisk 120GB SSD, 1TB Toshiba 7200RPM HDD

A10 6800k. I just realized the X4 heavily bottlenecks I'll get the i7.

I would get the new mobo and Intel CPU, I don't know how the Athlon performs though, all I can say is that you'll get a better balanced (and performing) system with the new mobo and CPU and a 760.

 

After writing the top part, I looked at the Athlon and my answer hasn't changed.

CPU : Intel Core i7 3960X, Mobo : X79-UD3, Memory : 4x4GB Vengeance Black Memory 1600MHz, GPU : Asus GTX 970 Strix, Case : Switch 810 Matte Black, Storage : 256GB Samsung 830 SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1TB, PSU : Thermaltake 750W 80+ Bronze, Displays : 3x Asus 1080p Screens, Cooling : Corsair H100i, Keyboard : Logitech G710+, Mouse : Madcat Cyborg R.A.T.7, Sound : Sennheiser HD598, V-Moda Crossfade LP, Logitech Z-5500, HMD : Oculus Rift CV1

Is it possible for you to get a i5 and the 770 instead of the i7 or do you actually need the i7? (I mean if you sell your old parts)

I would recommend a 760 sli over 770's cost. I understand sli issues, but that is my opinion. 

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Really? I saw something online that only 1 GPU was used in some game/program. Isn't a 770 cheaper than dual 760s?

No, the thing is he already HAS a 760. So if he got a 770, than he would need to find a new home for the 760. So why not sli it, OR sell it and get one powerful GPU.

I think we've found a solution, sell the 760, get a 4690k and a Z97 and have a 770!

It's cool. If he goes for 770, he can put the 760 in another PC, or sell it. Otherwise, just SLI the card.
