Hello. I am building a new PC. I have come up with the following specs. But I am in a fix between these two motherboards. FYI, I am rather partial to ASUS motherboards and I simply cannot increase my budget to include any better ones. I plan on OC-ing both my processor and graphics card (when needed). That's why I am planning to go for a 850W psu.
Processor - INTEL CORE i7-4790K
Processor Cooler - CM Nepton 240M
Motherboard - Asus Z97-K / Asus Z97-PRO GAMER
Ram - G.SKILL TRIDENTX 16GB DDR3-2400 (2x8GB)
PSU - Cooler Master V 850 Watt
SSD - INTEL 530 SERIES 120GB
Graphics Card - SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4GB
Casing - THERMALTAKE GS / MS-III
I know many will ask why I am going for the 4790K when the gains in gaming are nonexistent... see I don't plan on upgrading for at least another 6 years so that is why I think the i7 will be a better choice down the line.
Are any of my choices poor? I would truly appreciate any suggestions to my build choices... or any alternate brands of the components.
Thank you for your time!
