What you intend to use it for?



Depends on what you're using it for. Generally, you won't see much of a performance boost going from ~$200 to ~$400+ CPUs unless you use CPU-intensive software.

I think you're spending way too much on the mobo and CPU as others have said, unless you have particular needs for those components. Yeah I'd stick with your 2500k, it's a great CPU. You will see probably zero performance increase going to a 4690 or 4790 except with certain CPU-centric software.

Also agreed with the Enthoo Pro recommendation, though I personally used a HAF X for my PC, which I like a lot.


Mostly for gaming newer games (gta 5, No man's sky, pillar of eternity , and a few more...)

Overclock the snot out of your 2500k and keep your current ram.

Upgrade your case if it's real shit, upgrade your GPU.

I would agree with this guy and spend all of your money on a nice case and a 980 or titan x.

New amd series 300 is supposed to be coming out sometime soon, if you prefer amd I would just wait for those to come on the market.
