Posted April 12, 2015 First of all, I am going to watercool my new rig so I want hardware that will stay mainstream for the next few years. There is a Micro Center near me so there is only a $20 difference from the 4790k and the 5820k. What would be better? Also, would a EX240 or RX240 Watercooling Kit fit in a 750D? If so, which kit is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 12, 2015 The 5820k would be better but the motherboards are twice the price of budget Z97 boards like $150? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4790K, hands down. X99 is meant for extreme or enthusiast users, those who do a lot of professional rendering, design, etc. For a gaming and light productivity rig, a 4790K on Z97 would be much better.

Posted April 12, 2015 the 2011-3 socket will probably be around longer then the consumer level 1150 It still has about 3 years of life though. If OP wants to stay mainstream and new, he'll have to upgrade every year. The projects never end in my line of work.
