Hi
My mobo just died and I need a new cpu/mobo/ram combination.
I live in Iceland where there is little to choose from, and importing is expensive.
I'd like a high end intel i7 but cant really afford a 2011 socket cpu.
My max budget is around Isk80.000 (£400).
I'd like a 4790k but it might be too much as it's cheapest here at Isk57000.

Iceland has a very handy website that compares common components in all of Iceland's computer shops: http://vaktin.is/
It is in Icelandic but the only thing you'll need to know is that
CPU's are: örgjörvar (1st tab)
RAM is: minni (2nd tab)
motherboards are: móðurborð (5th tab)

If you're interested on how my computer died, here's a link to my previous thread

Thanks a million
Aron

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the rest of my system.
I've got a gtx970 and would probably stick another one in in the future.
I've got a samsung 850 evo 240gb boot drive and an old 500gb 3.5" for other games, and I'll probably get another 3.5" soon for more storage.
and for the psu I've got a corsair cx600 (I may have to upgrade this.
Also my dvd drive is old and has a IDE connection, so having that on my mobo would be nice but not crucial

Cheers
Aron
