upgrading help

[ac_viper]

So i currently have a amd fx 8350 and i'm upgrading to a gtx 980 so should i keep to the 8350 or should i get something like a i7 4790k , i am wanting to play at max settings also if buying the i7 is the right road to go down then what motherboard should i get?

 

current specs:

amd fx 8350 

16gbs ram

r9 280x

You could go with a i5 4690k. i7 is not necessary.

If it's just for gaming I'd get a 4690k since the i7 doesn't offer too much of a performance benefit most of the time and the 8350 will bottleneck a 980 in a lot of games.

you dont need an i7 to max out gaming with the GTX980

 

the i5 4690K will even rape your FX8350

 

the best value SLi mobo to get is the MSI Z97 SLI Krait

 

or if you want the best UEFI/BIOS will be the Asus Z97-A

980+ FX8350=Bottleneck. I would go for i7 but thats really not cheap and mobo needs to be changed.

so say i wanted to play at 4k will i7 4770 do

so say i wanted to play at 4k will i7 4770 do

you still wont need the i7

 

4k will depend on your GPU power
