Upgrade to X99 - General Queries

[« VK »]

Hi all,

This is a hypothetical situation but if I was to upgrade from my current setup to X99 then how much would it cost me and which parts would I be able to salvage from my current build?

There is no specific budget for this 'spec' but I'd like to see what I can get in terms of value for money.

See Spoiler for my current spec:

Well you'd need new RAM, new motherboard, new CPU and that's about it

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus X99-S - Intel Core i7 5820K Six Core CPU & Motherboard Bundle ***£30 Saving*** £495.98
1 x TeamGroup Elite 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit - Black (TPKD416GM2400HC16QC01) £179.99
Total : £685.57 (includes shipping : £8.00).


Do you have the 2011 socket mounting plate for your H80i?
Why do you need to go to X99? Even though it's hypothetical

4670k to X99 is a no go, personally.

This.

If for any reason you need the power of an i7 then swap the CPU for a 4770K or 4790K.


Besides here's a nicer spec than the one above, cheaper too.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel 5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80648I75820K) £289.99
1 x GeIL EVO Potenza 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15 2666MHz Quad Channel Kit - Red (GPR416GB2666C15QC) £209.99
1 x MSI X99S SLI Plus Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £159.95
Total : £669.53 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Just wondered how much it would cost, not really looking to upgrade for the time being xD
