Well guys recently games are starting to use like 4 or 6 cores . So should I really need to get a hexacore or will it be cool with the Quadcore i7 4790k ?

rockie_ · Dec 28, 2014

i7 4790K is enough for two cards in SLI/Crossfire and has 8 threads .

X99 platform based pc. You can put in gtx 970 instead of 980 to save some money. I would honestly go with x99 platform with kind of budget you have and looking for something that can last a while:

Quad core is perfectly fine, in fact I can't think of a game that utilizes 6 cores.

Stormhawk005 · Dec 28, 2014

Archgaull :

Battlefield 4 MP performs better on a 6 core system

Go with x99 platform. You won't regret later knowing that there is next gen hardware you could've used when you could afford it.
