x79 or x99

[pcgod]

Hello,

 

I m planning on upgrading my workstation/gaming pc , having a hard time deciding between x79 and x99.

I am a content creator (video and publishing) and also a gamer. my current pc specs are:

 

asus maximus vi hero

4770k

gtx 780ti

16 gb ram 1600mhz (corsair)

ssd+hdd+ 860ax psu

 

Also, tell me if its a good idea to spend too much on sli (970s or 980s) (2 way) and also keep a quadro for render?

I'm just considering that as an option, i don't print money.

 

Thankyou all good people of ltt forums.

Are you unhappy with your current performance?

IS THE 4770K NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

 

No, seriously. Do you really want to upgrade?

the most important reason for upgrade is that i have got a really bad chip, not stable at 4.4 event at 1.35 vcore.

but it runs every application good event at stocks. but im greedy for more.

 

so i thought i will sell this to some gamer kid and upgrade.

If you want to piss money way, just be aware that's what you're doing. Unless your current chip is not doing something that the new CPU will do, there's no functional difference for you as the user.

Getting a X99 would be a waste since you already have a pretty powerful system. Why not just upgrade your CPU to a Core i7 4790K

i was just hypnotized by all those videos on youtube.

 

thanks guys.. i will just upgrade to 780ti sli and some new ssds.
