xbox for X99?

[Overkilled]

So I was thinking about selling my Xbox 360 and Xbox one. I think I'd get about £340-370 for the both of them, I can get a 5820k for about 250 used I'd probably spend the rest on RAM and get a asus x99 deluxe at Christmas.

Sound like a plan? P.S I'd be upgrading from a 4690k would the upgrade be worth it?

Not for gaming. A 4790K would do much better.

It depends on what you are doing with your current setup and what you want to do in the future.

Btw I'm going to new York at the end of November should be able to pick up some tasty black Friday deals?

[Lethal Seraph]

You should still sell it though. Then save some more, you're better off waiting til black friday deals. Hopefully, there's some steep discounts for X99 parts.

I thought the 5820k was better than the 4790k clocked at the same frequency?

indeed, and alot cheaper as you only need to buy cpu

 

if you can sell your current cpu for 200$ and xbox 360 for 100$? then you might squeeze in 4790k

You might not be able to OC as far with its 6 cores. The 5820K (coming from an older line) generally is a matter of winning the Silicon Lottery if you expect it to outperform the 4790K in gaming.

I know but lets say they would both be clocked at 4.5ghz (i wouldn't clock a 4790k much higher than that anyway) would the 4790k be better. I'm one of those people who care more about synthetic benchmarks so the extra cores could do me good

The 5820k will NOT give you any edge in games now- it's a workstation CPU. A 4790k or 4690k will do just fine for gaming. Not worth the upgrade.

It would be cheaper if you opted for a 4790K. You wouldn't have to upgrade the rest of your system. But if the raw performance is all you want, the 5820K is better for you.

DO IT, PCMASTERRACE MUST BE THE ONLY RACE

 

DESTROY THE OTHERS!

[Kirky2k15]

pretty much the only reason to go x99 over z170 or z97 is more pcie lanes EG if you plan to SLI and have a PCIe NVMe SSD

It's not an upgrade CPU wise, specifically with respects to gaming, it's a sidegrade. IPC is equal, both chips are Haswell. Clock for clock you will see no difference in performance between the two in a game that can only utilize 4 or less cores.

 

If you're going to be using the 5820k for something besides gaming, where those extra 2 cores can be put to use (or the extra lane availability) then yes, worth the upgrade.

Still. For gaming,changing froma 4690k to a 4790k would'nt make a lot of sense

Depends. If you already have the rest of you PC as far as your monitor can display then why not? A 4790k eats a 4690k for lunch. There are current games that gain fps by making that switch, but switching to a 4790k is about stability, not fps. The i5 suffers dips in fps because of the physics workload.

First of all, its not about chosing between a 4690k and a 4790k, its about upgrading. It might be worth it to chose to buy a 4790k and not a 4690k but it does not make sense to upgrade to a 4790k if the gaming experience is slightly improved
