Z97 and broadwell

[The_Spartan74]

Hello everyone !! I just wanted to know a bit more about Z97 and broadwell, because i'm planing of building a new pc but the think is that i can wait like till summer but for know i've this : 

 

Cpu : Intel Core i7 4790K LGA 1150

     + Motherbaord : MSI Z97 Gaming 7 LGA 1150, Z97 ( Atx ) or MSI MSI Z97M Gaming LGA 1150 (  micro atx )

So it's the recommended cpu for gaming, so it's great !? But will i be able to upgrade it ??? Or should i wait ??

 

Thanks in advance !!!

I believe that brodwell will have the same socket and chipset as haswell but if you do an upgrade go skylake which should come out not to much after broadwell and will be a much better investment

If your gaming you dont need an i7. 

And I thought we weren't getting broadwell on desktop?

If you have a need now, buy now.

 

As for replacing a brand new 4790k with a broadwell CPU, that's just ridiculous. The broadwell CPU won't be significantly better than the 4790k, and that upgrade would just be a huge money sink.

I really don't know perhaps if you could help me i just know that broadwell will reduce the consomption so only for laptop not for desktop soo i guess that you are right

Think of the difference between Ivy Bridge and Haswell-refresh. It's not worth it trading up your i7-3770k for an i7-4790k. Heck, even Sandy Bridge is still fine today and I wouldn't recommend an upgrade from that. I'm still rocking an i7-920, although at this point most would have upgraded. As I said, if you have a need now, buy now. There is always something around the corner, and although it's better, it's only incrementally better, not a big difference.
