Hey there I currently have a i7 930 OC'd to 4ghz (water cooling), 16gb Ram and a GTX 760
I do a lot of gaming on the machine and it's primary purpose. I'd like to keep my budget to below $500-$600 for CPU, Memory and MB. One of the main games I play is just about to get HT support so I'd like to stick to a i7 or HT capable CPU
I picked out the following:
Xeon E3-1230V3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116906 (I believe Xeon has HT)
ASUS Z97-A: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132118
2x HyperX Fury Black Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104460
I had also just read about the new Devil's Canyon processors but worried that the i7 is going to push this above my budget.
I assume my previous water cooling setup would carry over to the new CPU type but advice there would be great.
Thanks for reading, looking forward to hearing the community's suggestions!
