Another mobo question?

[grimmm88]

Hi Guys

 

I glance through most of what posted about motherboard. Currently i used a Sandy bridge -E  and when i started my journey in computer world for gaming my head here says the expensive the item it has a better quality what not..so i go with the 2011.. now i just learn a few days ago the 1150 socket are much updated. i'm thinking of moving myself to ivy bridge. Currently i'm thinking:-

 

a. Should i just upgrade the mobo to rampage iv extreme

 

b. Get myself 4770k and a maximus vi extreme

 

 

What do you think? Any advise will be appreciated.

No and No , Wait for Ivy-Brige e , you will be able to use your motherboard again as it is still an awesome mobo

There isn't an awful lot of point moving from Sandy Bridge-E to Haswell. There isn't really enough of a performance increase to spend money and your current system should last you another few years with the addition of a graphics card update every 18 or so months. That said Haswell isn't the best of a platform to upgrade to, it has many issues and really isn't worth the money at the moment, unless you're looking for a completely new build, coming from a very old system.

Yeah, wait for Ivy Bridge-E. all you'll have to do is change out the CPU.

No, this will only benefit overclocking, motherboards have close to no impact on gaming performance.

 

 

b. Get myself 4770k and a maximus vi extreme

 

You won't see much of an improvement. And the Maximus VI Extreme is a horrible piece of shit mobo...

What is it with all this ROG fanboyism tz tz tz ^^

 

Stay with what you got, no point in changing, not even to IVY-E will not be an actual improvement especially for gaming.

Running a 3930K here and I'm yet to run into CPU related trouble. Plus with Ivy-E coming out soon it would make absolutely no sense moving to Haswell (it really doesn't have a whole lot to offer anyways).
