[Help] PC Upgrade!

[ravechild5683]

So its been a while since I have done a huge upgrade on my PC, but it is much needed.
Current Part List: Pc Part Picker

Originally I was looking into just upgrading my CPU but the only really good option was an

Intel Core i7-3770K wich is priced at 480$ before tax and thought that that would be a stupid investment now that 1155 is an out of date chipset.

 

Then I began my search for better Cpu's for what I am trying to acomplish (Gaming / Video Streaming) and stumbled upon the

Intel Core i7 4790k which is priced at 280$ and leave me some room to upgrade my motherboard.

Here comes the problem. I need help deciding on a motherboard to get and i would like it to be future proof.

I am a fan of Asus motherboards and would like to stick with it any suggestions on motherboards?

Get a Z97-deluxe from ASUS or a ASUS Sabertooth if you have the budget.

Go on fleabay/craigslist and see if you can find a 2500K or i5-3570K. If you are only gaming ditch the i7.

 

Grab a good CPU cooler and profit for relatively cheap. i5-2500Ks can be had for around £50/$75 in the UK at least.

 

You should be able to get that and a cooler for maybe $150-$200 and itll keep you happy for a while.

EDIT: More ram also won't hurt.

 

If you are going to go i7 and a new platform, then go 5820K...

You may need more RAM.

That may not be in his budget to get the 5820k ... with the x99 platform he will have to purchase ddr4 ram 

[ravechild5683]

I will be getting more ram i know i need at least 8gbs i already have 8gb of dd4 coming and i plan on sticking with the i7. Trying to stay within the 500$ range for both parts so 220 max for my motherboard upgrade.

If you are gonna go i7 mainstream (4790K/6700K), the price difference to a 5820K is tiny... Hence to me i5 or go X99.
