Hello again guys,
Ive got to ask the question due to a previous post about a GPU selection i asked for help with. There was mention of concern of my Processor not being able to handle my prospected GTX 770/ upcoming HD9970. I'd like to run RIFT on ultra settings as a minimum standard of pc collective components. Due to some recent leaks of the 9000 series being released in october I will be purchasing then. Speculated to offer BF4 in a never settle bundle its worth the wait and id like to run high settings there also. I play world of warplanes as well. Just to give an idea of (if much) the cpu capabilities, those 3 games will be most frequent.
If the A10-5800k overclocked to 4200mhz and the Asrock FM2A85X Extreme6 will handle the load thats great. no need to go broke. if not i have a few months to get the upgrade.
with that ive been looking at some intel mobo's and cpu's and since im not knowledgeable in the area id like some suggestions and links if you have the time.
id rather overdo it with a quality board and cpu with features i wont use than cut it close and wish for something better. Given the choice id prefer a red themed board due to my rig boasting red led's in the fans and in case lighting. i like aesthetics but not a deal breaker. would like multiple PCI 3.0 slots for future sli/crossfirex to.

everything ive read says if you have an ivy/sandy bridge 3770k stick with it but if upgrading from amd go for the haswell so ill most likely go for the 4770k and use my aftermarket watercooler to stabilize the reported extra heat. My ram is overclocked to 2133 mhz so im apt to lean towards the msi product but noone can deny the performance of an asus board. im very open to suggestions at or below 250.00 for the board even if its another socket/cpu combo. as long as it will o'c and play the desired games. thanks
