why 4790k?

[Herman Mcpootis]

the 4790k is kinda old rn, why that?

[d00m1ord]

I was basing my computer off of the specs of a friends and his runs all the games he wants but if the 4790k is old could you recommend a cpu with similar specs

The R5 1600 is good for its price for gaming and productivity.

That 1070 isn't stocked (RIP GPUs in GB).

[d00m1ord]

I was looking for a intel processor could you recommend an intel one please

 

[Herman Mcpootis]

try this and get a used 980ti off eBay/cex/etc or wait for gtx 1070s to be in stock.
