Right guys,

time for an upgrade, last upgrade was 9th January 2011 with Sandybridge. I made a balls up by not knowing about the K versions and order the 2400 haha so this time. I don't want to make that mistake, the system will be primarily used for gaming - Elite:Dangerous, Battlefield etc, browsing the internet etc usual stuff. Also do i go for the R290 or a Nvidia equivalent?

If you think I could do better please let me know, but i want to keep it around the same price.

Current setup-
I5 2400 (Sandybridge)
Asus P8P67 LE
8GB Patriot Viper Extreme
ATI Radeon 6950 2GB

Was wanting to upgrade to X99 and DDR4.

Cost wise , i don't spend every year so this will be another 3/4 years before i order again.

I think ill stick to the 4K monitor, and just get another GPU in 6 months time.

So many opinions , I just want the newest parts. Simple.
