advice on some upgrades

[stecam]

Hi All,

Currently i have an old i7 2600, and a p8p67 motherboard. As most things with computers i have recently upgraded to a GTX780 (phantom GLH edition) from a 6870, and now the 780 is basically obsolete. So, im heading towards a mobo and cpu upgrade. im looking at a i5 4690 or 4670, and here is where it becomes tricky, what bloody motherboard do i get to try and extract the best out of the GTX780? and possibly SLI because i might get a 4k monitor.

Are the ASUS Maximus worth it?

Z87 v Z97?

Sabertooth?

Too many decisions........... Also, is it worth SLI'ing or should i get a 980 down the track?

Thanks Legends. (also, i dont post here much because i generally find my answer just from reading)

Your 2600 is LGA 1155. So you need a Z68 or Z77 motherboard. 

 

The Maximus series is okay but not generally advised since they can be pricey. 

 

Ideally get a 980 down that track. But if you can get a cheap second hand 780, then go for it. 

 

Also make sure that your motherboard supports SLi.
