Hi all,
So i'm a case modding enthusiast and currently starting a enthusiast high end water cooling system in an expensive case. I have a H61 Mobo that is really outdated and im planning on getting an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 because it has the nicest aesthetics and im planning on over clocking my i7 2600k to about 4.5ghz.
What i was wondering was is it worth upgrading to haswell or should i build my i7 2600k onto the Sabertooth Z77. I feel that it should be sufficient and i shouldnt have to upgrade my cpu untill broadwell or after. I was going to upgrade my GPU to replace my GTX 560 but only towards the end of this year as i know i will only do a full overhaul when DDR4 and PCI-e 4 Come out. ( proposed build is below )
Opinions?
Thanks in advance
Current build: Proposed build:
i7 2600k @ 3.4ghz i7 2600k @ 4.5+ ghz
H61 Mobo Sabertooth Z77
16gb 1600mhz Ram 16gb 1600mhz
GTX 560 GTX 680 or Radeon 7970 or next gen.
