Hello everyone!

 

Just to begin, i want to say that i'm very new to this forum so please redirect me if i'm in the wrong section.

So, i currently have a desktop pc with a 750 watt PSU, a i7-3770 cpu and a GTX 970 (asus stric).

 

I want to upgrade but i'm not sure on waht to get exactly, Should i get a i7-4790k (that requires a new motherboard, so the Asus Maximus VI hero LGA-1150 would be god for that) or a second GTX 970 strix, which means that i need to get a PCI-E power connector and an sli bridge.

 

So the prices for both are (according to amazon): CPU+MB $484.98 and the GPU $389.

So what do you thing would be better, Spend more on a faster CPU and a better quality MB or a bit less for more GPU horsepower?

Keep in mind that i do a bit of Video editing, livestreaming etc. as well.

 

If you want me to post a full system overview, don't hesitate to ask me.

 

Thank you in advance,

Gijs Fiten

 

ps: if i don't respond in a few hours, that probably means that i'm in school or in bed. (diffrent time zone here...)

I would personally do the CPU + MOBO upgrade for easier future upgradability. Then I would do the SLI.
