Hey all,
Ive had this PC since i was 19(now 25) just finished uni and have my job interview tomorrow,(fingers crossed) my budget that was allocated for school can now be spent on other things. I think its time to move away from LGA1366. I have always been upgrading little bits n bobs on my PC apart from the Mobo and CPU. I am currently running:
i7 920 @4ghz
1366 gigabyte mobo
12gb ram
2x 980 GTX @ 5760 x 1080 (yes i get very good fps)
couple of 256 SSDs and a few 2TBs
This is my workstation and gaming pc
3D Studio Max
Z Brush
Photoshop
Unreal 4 / Cryengine
BF4 / GTA 5 / ArmA 3 / other AAA game
I bought a LGA2011 mobo a few years back, because I got a great deal and though back then I would do start on a new platform and do what I am doing now, piece it bit by bit. Unfortunately that was never the case and as more responsibilities came my way, I essentially used the SATA cables that came with the new mobo to attach more SSDs to my existing machine.
My question is, should I buy a 4930k fit it to the NewOld motherboard i have lying around, buy new RAM and waterblock plate, and call it a day? Or should I hold on for a little longer until the new socket comes out or opt for a 2011-3? Maybe even a Z series board? I don't really have my knowledge on these boards or cpus, as i havent really had the time to research it all in the detail i would like.
Thanks in advance
