Hello
I bought a i7 4790K and motherboard today even though I really couldn't afford it.
I was going to buy a FX8350 and motherboard until I read the specs for Pro Tools which lists a i5 as the minimal cpu for it.
I am sure that a AMD can run on it but I don't know how well and if the software will function properly.
I will use my system for graphic design, 3D design, movie making and music and some games.
I bought a i7 4790k for 359 dollars including tax (original price 42,421 yen with a 118 dollar to yen rate) I checked on New Egg and the cpu shipped to me would have been 13 dollars less. But may take a week or a month to arrive.
Bought a used Gigabyte GAZ97X-UD5H mb for 80 dollars (9,525 yen with a 118 dollar to yen rate)
From Newegg I would have only saved 5 dollars after shipping it here.
It has a one month warranty
So the total is 440 dollars (51,946 yen)
I do not have money to buy a aftermarket cooler for about 2 weeks.
Will my cpu be ok?
I thought about getting the i5 4690K but with the talk of DX12 supporting multiple cores, more games taking advantage of more cores/threads, and the software I will use, uses as many cores/threads that you can throw at it, I decided to get some kind 6-8 core cpu. If it wasn't for Pro Tools stating that their software was certified and tested to run on i5 and i7 processors, I would have bought the FX8350, so I decided on the i7.
Does anyone think a i5 would be ok for now if return the i7 back? I could get a aftermarket cooler if I did that.
I do plan on building a i75820k later in the later part of the year.
Is this a good purchase, the i7 4790k and mb?
