Need some avice guys

I need a motherboard, cpu and ram only.

GPU is a 7990 and gaming at 1080p

Is an AMD 8320 or a faster AMD cpu sufficient or do I need an i5/i7?

Cheers

Hi,

A few questions,

• What case do you have?
• All your drives are SATA?
• Do you need a cooler? or if you have one..what one is it?
• Budget?

Intel rule the roost at the high end so i wouldnt want to bottle neck a 7990, I-5 Or I-7 is the way to go.

Budget ?

Cheers Stulid

I have a lian-li case, it's got loads of room, all sata, budget around £350 but would spend more if it was needed.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-SLI - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle **£14 Saving** £258.58
1 x TeamGroup Xtreem LV 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-21300C11 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit (TXD38G2666HC11CDC01) £65.99
Total : £334.16 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Not sure if the RAM will fit an aftermarket cooler that you may already have.

I-7 will cost about another £90 on top of stulid spec , lots of choice.

Thanks guys, so all I need to do is make a decision for the 4690k or 4790k

Cheers

For gaming i5 is pretty solid, I think a few games take advantage of the i7 but for almost everything else its neck and neck.
