I currently find myself at an awkward position where I need a new motherboard and cpu.
Due to a recent 980ti upgrade (which my current motherboard is not compatible with) I am currently using a Frankenstein machine (with no case) as my primary development / gaming machine.
I had to remove parts from my server to get it working as well which is why this puts me in a weak spot. The server is currently our main code repository so it was kinda important before I butchered it
I have £1300 or extra parts stacked in the cart but I am having trouble pulling the trigger. x99/5820k looks like a sweet upgrade to my old 2200k but can't help but wonder if skylake is worth the wait.
I use 2x 1440 monitors (if that helps)
I know I can wait even though manual file copies is pretty annoying but I am not sure if I have the will power to hold off just buying now.
Can you see how deep of a problem this is for me?
lol
you thoughts?
