Hey there! Thanks for clicking
Alright, I'm slightly an amateur.
So, I'm asking for assistance and opinions!
As the title says, I have a majority of my New computer picked out.
For simple reasons, I'll be using Haswell as I explain my goals and reasoning,
however; I understand the performance difference is minimal and it's hotter and blah blah.
basically, I'm deciding between i5 / i7 on my haswell build.
I'm a primary gamer, however I do enjoy multitasking to a great extent;
Such as gaming, webbrowsing, skype, steam, you name it...I usually just keep it running and enjoy tabbing out of my games and streaming is a consideration in the future with Xsplit, which I'm unaware if hyperthreading helps at all.
as for motherboards,
I've come between the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming LGA 1150 with a MSI gaming graphics card to support it, because I think it's adorable how they claim it "boost performance" when you pair other MSI parts together. (if you have input on the software, that'd be great or however, if even it works)
Second; the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150.
It's republic of gamer and afforable, and doesn't come with "much" bloatware, such as all that snazzy things like "NIC, killer lan" or whatever msi has, I've heard that it's fishy.
Third, comes between the Sabertooth, yay for gimmicky armor plates and such.
And the forth would be the ASUS deluxe, just because of "high quality" it claims to be, or "high end board"
Also, if you wish to put input into my graphics card choice,
GTX 780; I like the fact that it's a single card, so please don't suggest dual SLI 770s, or something.
However; I do consider myself a hardcore gamer...I want max settings, and amazing FPS. Unless you can convince me the 770 will run everything "max"
Things, I'm hyped for would be.. obviously anything bethsda makes, and I want to use many, many graphic mods with it. haha
Please note, if you have strong reasoning for the 3830k 6 core processor by intel, please include your thoughts on that as well.
Thank you
P.S, I've included a very lengthy question(s), and I'd respect a proper and informative response. xox
Rest of my build included.
H100i Hydro by Corsair.
2x8gb 1600Mhz ram by Corsair //Vengeance
850watt //I realize, I could go to 750 watt. by corsair.
2 Samsung SSDs /128gb and 256gb
1tb HDD/Western Digital
Currently enjoying the EVGA ACX cooler version of the 780 GTX.
(I think it's the "best version" due to it's numerous rewards.
Insert random corsair air series fans, and that's all I got.
