Greetings!!
I am looking to upgrade this processor and motherboard and require an opinion. I am building this PC to play the latest games (namely titanfall) and live stream on twitch.
I am looking for a processor under 500$, preferably in the 200-400$ range.
The two processors I am giving closest consideration to are
i7-4820K
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116940
and the i7-4790
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116987
The chips are very similar and it's hard to draw a distinction, and although the 4820K has a 10mb lvl 3 cache as opposed to the 4790's 8mb I have had the sources I've checked recommend the 4790. I plan on streaming high end gaming on twich, and possibly recording and encoding our games so I can't help but think that the extra 2mb cache will help do all of those things at once more efficiently. Aswell there is the socket to consider, as there is currently a larger selection of high performance motherboards for the LGA 1150 socket of the 4790 than the newer LGA 2011 socket of the 4820K.
aswell there are some other chip options which are all comperable sidegrades, could I be missing something in
the i7-4771
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116941
the i7-4770K
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901
or the i7-4770
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116900
?
Any and all consideration is greatly appreciated.
Thanks allot!
