Better CPU. 4670k perhaps?

 

[nidz2]

so just upgrade the CPU ?? nothing else ?

Most people would pay alot of money for that computer, and if you get a 4670k (if you dont want to overclock get a 4670) CPU, you need a compatible motherboard and if you want to overclock either get a h100i or a custom loop.

You could perhaps get two 760's in SLI.

i am not a big fan of over clocking though i have the thermaltake 2.0 extreme (water-cooling) installed to the CPU, 3 corsair fans, and 3 aerocool fans all around ...and i think it handle the extra temp...
so lets say ill buy the 4670 CPU...any advice on the compatible motherboards...should i stick to gigabyte or get an AMD (since i heard it works better with AMD graphics cards) ??
keep in mind that i like to run games on ultra graphics with high fps and no lags ( shogun 2, company of heroes 2...soon to come rome 2)
thanks in advance man

You should only go for an AMD if you can't afford a decent intel. You'll want a motherboard with an 1150 socket.

ok...will go for an intel soon enough..for the time being i think ill try over clocking the CPU for the first time since i have the proper cooling gear.....thanks again man

 

[nidz2]

ok....i tried over-clocking and lets say that didn't end up well...pc wont boot...so i think i gonna go with the 4670k processor and a decent gigabyte motherboard with 1150 port...there goes my bank account...

thanks again for the advice man v
