i5 Upgrade Rig

[IFeaRZz]

I've currently got a i5 build I'll place the exact specs in PC Part picker wondering which parts I should upgrade first as I render a lot.

That's the computer I've picked...

if you render videos a lot I would recommend you get an i7.

Which i7 because I know the broadwell one is compatible ?

Either the 6700k or 4790k if you get the 6700k you will have to get a different mobo and ddr4 ram

either 4790k or go for something better like 5820k or 5930k

Personally I ain't interested in the 6700K as the ASIC quality as is so low, currently the yields ain't there..

So I'll go 4790K

Glad I was able to help!

 

Make sure you post a topic when you build the PC we would love to see it.

Wait, the thing is already an i5. The i7 is pretty much the same with hyperthreading, no? That's like $300 for a 30% performance increase. Maybe a Xeon on the same socket would be more cost effective? Or an x99 chip with more cores would work too.

 

Followup idea, build an 8350 rig for a bit more than the price of an i7 and you can work on your i5 and i7. That one is less of a good idea, but hey.

I was thinking of X99 as the 5820K is tempting.

yeah ive been looking at either getting 4790k or 5820k but 5820k is about $200 higher including mobo so it might not be worth it

The X99 platform I guess has more value to the upgrades later down the line a 10 core broadwell-e CPU rumor..
