Hey everyone. Long story short I currently have a desktop that started life as a factory HPE 470-f. Now it only has the mobo, RAM, and cpu (a phenom iix6 1090t) left stock. The Mobo is old and I'm sure it is the cause of my bottleneck in most games, as it doesn't even have SATA 6.0 and dumbs down my RAM because I'm using 4 sticks.
I'm looking to upgrade and am stuck between these three choices:
MSI-Z77 G45 (gaming or regular, make a case for one or the other), i5-3570k, and corsair vengeance 2x4gb
MSI Z87 G45 (regular, unless I really should get the gaming version?), i5 4670k, corsair vengeance 2x4gb
Or Asus M5A99 AM3+, FX 8350, corsair vengeance 2x4gb.
My PSU is a Rosewill 750w, my GPU is a GTX 560ti, and I run dual ASUS 24" monitors but only use one for gaming.
I use my desktop mainly for gaming and writing reports. I am open to OC only if it's stable and safe. Am I over-killing with the mobos? Should I go one tier down if I'm not going to OC?
Essentially I just want solve my frame rate issues in games like Planetside 2, BF3, and to a lesser extent BF4 (it is still in beta after all) as well as take advanatage of my SSD by having a mobo with SATA 6.0. I just figured if I'm upgrading, go for broke and not worry for a few years instead of constantly upgrading "just enough."
