Hi all.
As the title states I am going to take advantage of the January sales and grab an Intel M/B and CPU.
I have at the moment an FX8350 clocked at 4.6 and running at 52 max with a Sabertooth 990fx.
All that hooked up to a GTX590 that is not getting its legs stretched at 1080 resolution (GPU usage average 60%-80% Farcry 3)
I am lining up a 2560 x 1440 monitor too, but as yet undecided what to go for.
Question is with what Motherboard and CPU are out, and what will match my GPU well.
An example now is a solid 68 fps average on Farcry 3 (Ultra settings) 4x etc.
All I use the computer for is gaming and browsing, was looking at the latest I5k or an I7k, might be overkill on the I7..?
Lots of variables on sockets and CPU`s with the Intels which are confusing me with the best gaming potential.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.
