Posted March 12, 2016 Hi everybody atm I have an i7 2600 non-k with 16 GB of RAM I want to upgrade and pass my actual build for my father, but I'm not sure if going with the 4790k or with the Skylake, I like flashy motherboards atm I have the Asus Sabertooth Z77 which looks very nice for me, I feel like the MSI Krait edition is some kind of 'downgrade' we talk about looks only comparing with my actual motherboard, I know it's stupid but hey :c I'm like that The good thing about the 4790k build is that I could get the Kingston HyperX Fury White Ram, to match the black and white theme, the 6700k motherboard looks nicer to me but I would have to go with the black ram, since dominator platinums from corsair are very very expensive in DDR4 I know performance from 4790k to 6700k is barely 5% but since I'm upgrading from a 2600 I would like to know what you guys suggest? 4790k DDR3? or 6700k DDR4 I really want the white ram tho I use this PC for Gaming and Working in Photoshop only i7 4790k with MSI Z97S SLI KRAIT EDITION i7 6700k with ASUS Z170-A ATX SgtDeathAdder Gaming PC: CPU: i7-3770k @4.3 / GPU: GTX 1080 Asus Strix / Cooling: CoolerMaster V8 / Mobo: ASUS Z77 Sabertooth / Ram: 32 GB Kingston HyperX Fury / SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB / HDD: Western Digital 4TB / PSU: Corsair RM 1000 / Case: Corsair 750D / OS: Windows 10 / Mouse: Razer DeathAdder 3.5 / Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma Green Kailh switches / Mouse mat: Razer Destructor Monitor: BenQ XL24II 144Hz / Projector: BenQ W1070 110' Screen / Controller: Xbox One Wireless / Headset: Logitech G930 7.1 / Devices: Honor 8 - Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10' ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Workstation PC CPU: i5-6600k / Cooling: Corsair H110i GTX / Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Gene / Ram: 32 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum @3000Mhz / SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD: Western Digital 1TB / PSU: Corsair CX 450M / Case: Corsair Air 240 / OS: Windows 10 / Mouse: Corsair Logitech MX Master / Keyboard: Quisan TKL Cherry MX Brown switches / / Speakers: Kanto YU2GW / Headphones: Logitech H150 / Monitor: LG 29UM68-P Ultrawide 29" / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP says he has to buy the white DDR3 so that wont work the Skylake system will be a better choice since you need to buy RAM anyway, but it will cost like 100$ more, but untill the 4790k starts lagging behind you probably wont use the CPU anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
