Why not bump up to the i7-4790k if you are getting a Z97 board?

Madman9996 · Sep 30, 2014

Because the 4790 is already powerful enough and the reason I am getting that z97 board is becasue it has 4 pcie slots so I can sli in the near future

Why wait for SLI, when you can do it now?

I want the best components when I sli I will also get a 1440p monitor I do not have enough to have sli and 1440p monitor in the near future I will get all that though

There is nothing wrong with any of the components I have listed. The clock speed difference between the 4790 and the 1231v3 would be totally unnoticeable. GPU matters more than CPU for gaming anyway. Do not need a $200+ motherboard for a locked cpu either. SLI and CF do not scale well past 2 cards. You are needlessly overspending on components, and sacrificing performance as a result. You get SLI now, and can start saving for that 1440p monitor you want.

Can I overclock the xeon?

Madman9996 :

No, but you cannot overclock that i7 either. Only k series chips can overclock.
