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.

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.

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.

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

Intel Xeon E5 1650 v3 @ 3.5GHz 6C:12T / CM212 Evo / Asus X99 Deluxe / 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 3000 Trident-Z / Samsung 850 Pro 256GB / Intel 335 240GB / WD Red 2 & 3TB / Antec 850w / RTX 2070 / Win10 Pro x64

HP Envy X360 15: Intel Core i5 8250U @ 1.6GHz 4C:8T / 8GB DDR4 / Intel UHD620 + Nvidia GeForce MX150 4GB / Intel 120GB SSD / Win10 Pro x64

 

HP Envy x360 BP series Intel 8th gen

AMD ThreadRipper 2!

5820K & 6800K 3-way SLI mobo support list
