This is my current set up
System specs:
Intel Core i7 950(3.06GHz)
64 bit Quad-Core Processor
Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard
12GB RAM (6x2GB) DDR3 1333
1TB (1 x 1TB) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM HDD
2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
GeForce GTX 680 2GB
750W PSU
120mm Liquid Cooling System
I want to upgrade my CPU and motherboard. I use my pc for 99% gaming and 1% video rendering (also watch movies listen to music and have pictures and stuff). I want the best quality for best price that is worth upgrading what I already have. I'm upgrading because 2 reasons: I did a prime95 blend for 5 minutes and my cores were hitting 100 celsius! also I just got a huge raise at my job so I'm going to sell the CPU & Mobo I have for new ones.
some one suggested i72600k-2700k and ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z
another friend of mine suggested saving my money and getting i5-2500k and ASRock Z77 Extreme4
please help!!! I definitely want a noticable upgrade from what I have and am willing to pay for it, but if I noticed that the processor I have's list price is more expensive than the i5-2500k. so is that even an upgrade? please help!!
