Would the upgrade be worth it? I'd probably throw a Dark Rock 3 in there aswell..

Thank you all for your input :)

 

Chose a Gaming 5 instead, but it's on the way :)

 

PS. If you're in Denmark and wan't new pc parts http://www.proshop.dk/ is literally amazing, It's 8 PM and they'll still send out my order today.

 

My wallet hates you all.

Just grab the Z97-A if you want to SLI later (don't know your GPU solution/planned solution)

 

Actually at that price, what about the MSI Z97-G55 SLI? I'd pick that over the Z97-K.

IMO, the new ASUS boards are butt-ugly. I wouldn't get it.

 

Suicide is never the answer

What if the question is "what is it called when you kill yourself?"

I don't really have my mind set on a specific MB so it would for sure be an option.

Eh, TBH FX 8 cores really aren't that amazingly powerful. They have their moments though.

they are definitely powerful enough so that upgrade to an i5 will be underwhelming.

No I genuinely thought it was funny!

OK cool, for getting the most from that price bracket that's what I'd choose anyway. :)

Not sure who would buy it though...  It's pretty tough selling used pc hardware in Denmark, and shipping would be a bitch to anywhere other than scandiavia.

I think you might be on your own with that, I am rarely sarcastic.

 

(I've made it so that all my responses could be interpreted as sarcasm if desired lol)
