Mate of mine is considering upgrading to Z97 and here is his current spec:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Motherboard: Asrock P45DE
Memory: 8GB Corsair XMS2 TWin2x4096-8500c5 G
Graphics Card: HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048MB GDDR5
I've recommended the following with the aim to source a 290 and 8GB Ram from the MM:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £189.95
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £103.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler £74.99
Total : £378.53 (includes shipping : £8.00).
Up to £400 - Thoughts?
