Over the mpast few months I've been getting some slight issues and the likely culprit is my motherboard, it's 6 years old now and considering the amount of use it has got the caps have probably dried out which is causing some flakyness. I currently have:
i7-920
Asus Rampage Gene II motherboard
6GB of tri channel RAM (can't remember what brand)
Asus R9 290
Intel 160Gb SSD + some mechanical drives for storage.
Corsair AX 760
I'm just going to replace the mobo, CPU and RAM, while keeping my micro ATX case and everything else inside. What I have priced up is:
Intel Core i7 4790K +...
Asus Z97 Gryphon Armor - Bundle for £405.94
Corsair XMS3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz - £99.95
I've not been keeping up to date on hardware but this seems to be the sweet spot at first glance, is there anything better for a similar price?
