So, a couple of weeks ago i bought a ASUS GTX 970 STRIX GPU, but i realize that my old AMD Phenom II x6 1100T CPU was bottlenecking it, so i decided to buy a new CPU (intel i7 4790 Haswell) and a new compatible motherboard.
My question are two:
1) Considering that i wont upgrade my PC for over 2 years, should i buy the i7 4790 or the i5 4690. I´ve reed that there is not much difference in gaming (i plan to play GTA V, The Wicher 3, etc), but new games requeire better performance in the CPU.
2) A friend told me that if i buy a new motherboard and CPU i should format my hard drive and reinstall windows. It´s this true? And what are the possible consecuences of not doing it?
