dont get x79 since x99 is already launched!
and what your budget? and what your want to do with this pc?
Gaming?? or??? we do need more info
Anything above Z97 / quad core is complete overkill for single-gpu gaming. And getting last generating hardware isn't really worth it, even if it might save you some money.
from the thread title he already mentioned for gaming.
I already asked for budget but he didnt say.
his post was confusing because he said he got sandy with GTX 760.
He also said he got 780 ti
now I wonder if he ever check or put the 780ti to his sandy pc
One thing I dont understand is that he said
""I want to build a PC that is smart, not PC to get great FPS".
But he is aiming for the 4790k or the x79 build. I dont know what he mean by PC that is smart? His sandy should be good enough.
Man I've got i5 4570 + GTX 750ti but my PC is smart enough for my needs :thumbsup:
Or even my celeron notebook is very smart enough for my office work
:thumbsup:
I have, sandy bridge (i5 2500k, ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe, 8GB RAM, GTX 760)
and I plan, build Haswell. and I've bought a few components (i7 4790K processor, PSU, dominator platinum 2x4GB CMD8GX3M2B2133C9, the GTX 780 Ti, Samsung SSD 250 evo,)
Now I am confused to choose a motherboard.
ASUS Maximus VII hero, MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC. ASUS z97 deluxe.
=====================================
yes
"smart PC" maybe the title is right for me.
the word "smart PC" appears on my mind, when I first played
FIFA 12.
I play FIFA 12 with my PC spec:
-----------------------------------
dualcore E5200
ASUS P5KPL-AM SE (DDR2)
4GB ram
500GB HDD
SAPHIRE 5850 Extreme
Samsung 19 LCD monitor.
---------------------------------------
I played so easy (online) or (offline with my friend). I am very easy to achieve victory. such as ball control, or scored, even I have always dominated the game (ball posision 75-25). Essentially, I can easily achieve victory.
then I sell my old PC. and build sandy bridge (with VGA 5870), and cider is where my problem arises. how hard I play FIFA 12 online or ofline. like I lost the ability to play FIFA 12. so bad my game.
and from there appeared "smart PC is not PC to get high FPS"
---------------------------------------
I do not understand, a lot of things I did, several times to reinstall the OS, replace the VGA (until I switched to NVIDIA).
if this is a hardware compatibility issues,
until today I have not felt again, convenient PC to play games
-----------------------------------
does anyone know what I'm saying?
