[Ykno]

i5 4670 vs i5 4690

 

k vs non k

info on what I need it for I game mainly wow and swtor but I do play some others like sniper 3 and new need for speed when released as I'm looking at moving away from console gaming I also do light video editing and photo editing by light I mean when I'm off work ill and they need me to do something lol (altho I am looking in to free lance so my work load might increase) I use 3 screens (altho only 2 connected atmo as no desk space ) multi tasking games with tv stream and web surfing.

cheaper one of the motherboards (I would look at $100 M//B's due to they don't enhance performance)

i5 4690

AND GET THE K CPU for over clocking or don't get a Z97 motherboard

I can't see why not, AFAIK it is a good build, but I would get a K CPU for overclocking.

I don't say you have to OC now but get a K CPU so you can.

OK.

I think the Graphics card will Bottleneck your CPU though.

That GPU is SOO old, nVidia is up to the 900 series cards.

 

 

SORRY I WAS THINKING OF THE WRONG BUILD. LOL, i need to go to bed.

Sorry i am off to bed,

I am rolling on a stock cooler and really don't know much about them anyway.

(I do know that AMD heat-sinks are better at removing the heat away from the CPU compared with Intel ones)
