Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

Might go for a 4460 then cause i can't afford a higher end board

Yeah, something like this would be nice: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nzHRnQ

I need a new cpu to go with my r9 280x as my 750k is bottlenecking like crazy which has made my upgrade from my 260x to my current 280x pretty useless so yh. I don't want to spend tones but I'm happy with either intel or amd. I don't want something overkill just enough to run it without 'any' bottlenecks. Thanks :)

If you want to overclock I5 4690K and noctua NH-D14 if you can fit it and also afford it. You could probably get some crazy CPU power with that cooler.

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 II 750K GPU: Asus R9 280x PSU: 750W RAM:8GB DDR3 HDD: 1TB SEGATE SSD: 120GB SANDISK

I don't really have one in mind but I'm thinking of getting the 4460 like sam and club said.

I have a arctic freezer 13co which i would use as the cooler as it works very well and quietly(quiet enough for me). Would the £20 more be worth it for the 4690k over the i5 4460? and how how much would i be able to overclock it with the af 13 co roughly

To oc, you would also need a more expensive z97 board.

Skylake i5 6500 + B150 Board + DDR4 Ram.

 

Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3P is a nice one, since its fairly cheap, but has USB Type C + M.2 Slot with full 4 PCIe 3.0 Lanes.

I'll probably go with what wooden said as i only need a new cpu and mobo, i don't want to have to upgrade my ram as if i get a 4460 i won't need to get new ram. I will end up getting a m ax board aswell as I only need 1 pci e x16 slot and 2 ram slots so yh. Thanks
