I am looking to upgrade my rig. My current setup is:
Mobo: GA-Z77X-UD5H
CPU: i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz
I am currently looking at two sets of upgrades for the CPU and mobo. They are:
Set #1 (~$490)
Mobo: MSI Z97
CPU: i7-4790k Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz
Set #2 (~$620)
Mobo: MSI X99A
CPU: i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz
I use my rig mainly for playing games (notably GW2, which is notoriously stressful on the CPU).
In your opinion, is the second set worth the extra ~$130? Would you recommend any alternative products to the ones listed above?
