So im planning on upgrading from a low tier AMD CPU to the Intel i5 4690K, is it good for new games along with my GTX 970, can i expect to run most games very well with this?

Yes.

Thanks for the answers, also I've heard that i will have to reactivate windows when switching from an am3+ mobo to a z97, is that true. I really don't want to re-buy windows considering the soon to come free windows 10.

I was thinking of the same thing about upgrading from a lower tier amd to this cpu and I have the same gpu I get kinda laggy on a lot of games thats why I want to upgrade my cpu. Also

I think that you can just use your windows key correct?

Yeah the lag with AMD and the 970 sucks. But i heard that the windows key can only be used/ activated on one motherboard

You couldn't even bottleneck the GtX 970 on a locked i5.

 

 

 

Windows Key transfer?

You can unregister your key via the CMD prompt. and Release it from the current install.

And use it on the next one.

/Don't blame me if it doesn't transfer, I know how to disconnect the key, but not if it works on another machine like your planning.

Don't do it now, when you restart your windows will be a trial version without a key.

 

Do it when you need to..
