Alright, been a while since I've been here. Haven't kept up on the newest gen. technologies. Please, bare with me. Buddies have been pushing me towards getting back into PC gaming. I've had the bug for a while now, and it's about time.
I'll be upgrading (basically a complete rebuild) my current PC, that's used for nothing but media (Netflix, Blurays, music, ect.)
Media computer consists of :
Knowing these specs, I'm probably going to do a complete rebuild, after all is said and done. Upgrading this PC, as funds come available. I already have a couple parts to go into this build, but they'll eventually get upgraded also.
Parts Owned :
So, yeah, the GPU's aren't the big boy's they used to be, but throwing them in Quad SLI should handle quite a bit. At some point, after the must haves are taken care of, I'll upgrade these cards. The case, is a must. I've been holding onto this case for a LONG time.
So far, I've decided I'm going with the Intel Core-i7 Haswell 4770k. I'm getting a good price for it, and I'm wanting to make sure it's future proof for a while. I'm having a difficult time figuring out which motherboard to go with, as I've mainly built AMD systems, and not too familiar with Intel chipsets. I will be overclocking, at some point, also.
I still need a PSU (Prefer massive single 12v rail), RAM (can reuse, but would like to upgrade to more), HDD & SSD, CPU cooler (Would like a All-in-One Water cooler).
So, suggestions on a LGA1150 motherboard for the 4770k? Or other items, I'm still needing.
