Would be way better to go X99 for that budget, CPU costs pretty much the same, motherboard costs a bit more but it's a higher end platform

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
