Hey all. I play competitive tf2 (among other games) and am looking to get a new rig to boost my fps and speed up editing. I have around $1000 to spend and would like to get the most out of my money. I have heard that tf2 is optomized a lot more for intel and is very cpu based, not as much gpu.
So considering that, I have been thinking of getting a intel 4770k and overclocking it. However, I'm wondering how the 4770k compares to the 3770k and the i5s? Basically, Haswell vs Ivy bridge?
The extra hyper threading of the i7s is supposed to help in editing and multi tasking (streaming on twitch for example). But how does haswell and ivy compare?
Also looking for just basic recommendations of PSU, Mobo, GPU, Ram etc for my budget. I already have peripherals.
As a side note, this seems really pretty stupid, but what if I spent $500 on the 3930k (or whatever haswell equivalent)? Lol, since the games I play are mostly cpu based it might help. That or I could just save some money and get the i7 haha
Edit: Using your superior knowledge, build me a parts list please. I could make one myself I suppose, and have people critique/edit it but that would kind of be pointless haha
