I'm interested in purchasing a CPU specifically for one program which utilizes only one core (intensively). For this scenario, assuming they're all clocked at the same speed, would a Quad or Six Core perform any differently?
I'm also looking for suggestions for the best single-core throughput CPU for the money (~300$) if there are any.
I've heard that the Haswell series wasn't impressive in its cooling capabilities, but is the 4790K the same? And is this perhaps the better option for the scenario I mentioned?
Currently I'm interested in purchasing these:
LIAN LI V354B Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112300
CORSAIR H80i CPU Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181057
I'm not sure if the CPU Cooler is sufficient for overlocking to ~4.5GHz or higher with that case.
Suggestions/tips for videos cards, motherboards, and anything else would be pretty cool too since I've never built a compact desktop before. This will be under a Micro ATX.
