ddr3 vs ddr4

[Guest]

so I'm planning on building a desktop soon and I'm wondering if ddr4 is worth it, if so then what kind of processor should I get that supports it?

Workstation or gaming rig?

Please provide budget, location...do you need peripherals included or monitor or OS.

DDR4 is so far for the X99

 

and for the upcoming Skylake CPUs

 

 

but now they are goldy expensive

 

stick to DDR3 and Z97/H97 for now

Even for a workstation, are you sure there's not that much of a difference?

nope

 

Linus have made a comparison of DDR4 and DDR3

 

they perform the same

you would need to get the 5***x series i7s to use the x99 platform

Okay thanks, would an i7 4790k be a decent processor for work and gaming use then?

4790K?

 

it should be enough for your needs

 

but what apps you are using?

yeah sorry about that typo, not really sure yet, should be what i'm already doing and then some pretty intense gaming (maybe) which should be up to the graphic cards then so that seems like a different topic I guess, maybe some rendering and things like that

if you are not in a hurry to build the PC

 

wait for the R9 390X GPUs 

 

if not go for the GTX980s

I can wait, thanks for the card ideas, I'm having a look at some ASUS motherboards, just to be sure - the amount of "K" display depends on the graphic cards right? There's this z97 WS that says 4k native, but since it says native I guess that just means directly from the motherboard or something? Like I would be able to get up to 5k or more with graphic cards right?

Best performance in the high-end with still taking somewhat good care of the budget:
