My current system used to be
i5 3570k
MSI 670GTX Twin Frozr
8GB Ram
I have now secured (After waiting about 5 weeks lol) a MSI 1080 GTX (Thought I better get it after the memory news) and I was currently planning on getting the following.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £839.02
(includes shipping: £11.10)
With the recent release of the new intel line of processors (I would prefer to stick with intel) should I switch out the processor and if so will that mean a different Motherboard.
Main components I want to lock in is the Memory, CPU and Motherboard. The rest is easy such as hard drives and whatnot but I want to make certain my new machine will last as long as my current one which has been running for 5+ years nearly 24/7
The main use of this system is gaming so I was unsure if just an i5 would suffice or whether I should spend extra for the i7.
I appreciate any and all comments / suggestions to aid me.
PS
I do have a preference about the SATA ports though, I would like them to just be 1 controller and not 2 like my current motherboard.
