Hey guys im a new pc builder and was trying to find out if my pc build would work. I don't know if my asus maximus vii will be compatible with my Intel i7 4930K. Or do I change it to my previous choice which was a intel i7 4790k.
Thanks in advance
 
Do you already have an i7-4930K CPU? In other words, you already own that CPU? If so, what motherboard are you currently running it on?

The i7-4930K is a very good CPU. There is no need to waste money replacing it with an i7-4790K that gives you no performance boost.
