Hello Guys,
I live in China, and I am looking to buy a motherboard and a Intel processor, which are the two items I am missing to finish my pc. The problem is the budget. My original plan was to buy a Asus Maximus VII Hero and a Intel i7-4790K, but buying the two items would overpass my CPU and motherboard budget, which is $616. I have several options which are buying cheaper components, medium components or buy the expensive options. I can use the money I save to buy Corsair H100i or other components to make my build better.Very important. I plan to overclock in the future and I want this build to last at least 4 years.
I think the important thing for me is to know what is more important the CPU or Motherboard.
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 cost $244 not worth it.
Amazon doesn't deliver motherboards to China only processors.
Option 1 (High)
Here in China the Asus Maximus VII Hero cost $316 (I could buy a X99 in USA...)
The intel i7 4790k cost $350
Total = $666 (over $40)
Option 2 (Medium)
Asus Z97- A cost $146
Intel i7 4590K - $350
Total = $496 (save $120)
Option 3 (Medium)
Asus Maximus VII Hero cost $316
Intel i5 4690k cost $236
Total= $552 (Save $64)
Option 4 (Low)
Asus Z97-A cost $146
Intel i5 4690k cost $236
Total=$382 (save $234)
Thanks very much for your help!
