I have had an AMD FX-9590 for a while, and I will say I am completely disappointed by the performance and heat that it outputs, and I am sick of upgrading everything to fit for my CPU.
This is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Twijn/saved/c3XD4D
I have had to upgrade nearly everything to make it work decently with the CPU and it doesn't seem to be working as well as it should. This could be because I am still forced to underclock the CPU because my CPU cooler is not good enough. And as much as I could, I really don't want to upgrade more as I feel like it should output decent performance and it's mostly not. The biggest issue with it currently is that the CPU get so hot.
I know that the Cooler is likely insufficient. This is probably causing most of the problems. However, I don't see performance being better if I upgrade it. This is why I am choosing to go to Intel instead. (Unless you guys can convince me to something else)
I was looking at an air cooler, but it was just a few mm from not fitting in my case.
So, the question is now, What intel CPU should I buy? I failed to ask for these things when buying the 9590 so I will not do this again with buying Intel. Would I need to buy a new CPU cooler also, or will the Seidon 120V be compatible with it, and be able to cool it?
If I don't need a new cooler then I believe the only new things I will need to swap out is my motherboard and, of course, my CPU.
This is what I'm looking to upgrade to https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Twijn/saved/VLHdnQ
I am choosing the Intel I7-4790K because of its good reviews, high speeds, and claimed to have low heat
I am choosing the MSI Z97 because it's there. Please give me feedback on the motherboard.
I would also like to pay as least as possible, but have good performance and not cheap out on anything.
