What do you think guys?

[nivra552]

I have a i5-4670 and a Gigabyte H87n wifi mobo do you think its worth trading it with Asus z87i pro mobo and i5-4690k and ill add $170??

[givingtnt]

you would preferably need a z97 board for that 4690k

[Shd0w2]

No, if you dont overclock no.

4690k isnt much better than a 4670, and for $170? HELL NO

Buy a new monitor or graphics card or something

Not really.... Z97 really just adds some cool features, if he's been using H87, and he's fine with it, then Z87 is still goodl.

do you think its a good move?

[Juganog]

I wouldn't unless you want those extra features from the motherboard

z87 works, just needs a bios update

No. Don't do it if you're content with what you have now ,you probably wouldn't even use the features Z97 offers, which arent too many. IF you hadn't bought anything yet, Iwould  refccomend a z97 and 4690k, but in your situation, you're fine.

You have to update the bios to use it correctly.

Well I already have the i5 and h87n combo with me...so ill just decline his offer then...and also wanna ask you is it a good idea water cooling this chip of mine cause my temps goes to 60-70 when redering my cpu cooler is an nh-l9i and I was thinking of changing it with a nepton 140XL aslo my case is a 250D if that matters

Considering it's mini-itx there isn't much for CPU clearance, and I think a nepton is overkill, but I guess it's one of your options, it does work.

Go for the liquid cooler I guess.
