Posted May 30, 2017 So I found an intel i5-4690 for $165 (used, including stock cooler of course), and I believe it's gonna be more powerful than a FX system. And there's someone selling a DDR3 Haswell System, the parts are: 1. i5-4690 2. Asus Maximus VI Gene 3. Corsair Vengeance Pro RED 2x4GB 2400MHz For $349 and I already have a LGA 775 System that I didn't upgrade it yet, should I upgrade to that bundle everyone? Thank you community!

Posted May 30, 2017 Had to look closely at your avatar @valdyrgramr, because I was wondering what the blowj*b (not fuc*) was going on. But seems to be a mic. On topic: depending on price, lots of things are worth it. Maybe even worth it to sell as scrap metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 30, 2017 Doesn't make sense to get the Z chipset because you don't have k sku so you might as well save some money by going H87/97 unless you find a 4670/90k or 4770/90k down the line. Otherwise everything else is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are advantages to a Z-chipset besides overclocking. RAM can be faster, I/O is generally more plentiful, and PCIe slots are more balanced.

Posted May 30, 2017 The 4690 is a beast for what it was on release. Still a great CPU and results from the typical 4 threaded games are great, the 8 thread games show obvious differences. My GTX970 OC & GTX980ti both kept their gpu usage at the typical 97-100% in over 30 titles. Worthy... absolutely. For the right price.

Totally agree. that's my Redstone build and its still rocking along, once I got some decent WC on it will start cranking the CPU. @OP Yeah man, Hell even my i7-3770 is going great, just have to pair them with the right GPU so you not wasting money and getting bottlenecks but once thats sorted you will have a decent system.
