CPU / MOBO / MEMORY Choices

Go to solution Solved by DarkBlade2117,

If you get a 6600k you gotta get DDR4 Ram and a different Z170 mobo. Doesn't matter do what fits the budget. What you've got picked out is good.

Hey guys so I am getting a new PC and I am really getting how much support as I can into building it and I have a couple doubts.

 

CPU : Should I get the Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor or get the new generation i5-6600k ? They are about the same price and in some games the 6600k goes up about 15fps in comparison to the 4690k . Is it worth ?

 

MOBO: I don't know if this motherboard is that good for the price . MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  . What are your suggestions? 

 

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory I don't really think there's much to go around here , but still if you have any suggestions give them .
