Well it is time for Motherboard / CPU upgrade.
I am jumping ship to Intel, But their are so many Choices.
First and foremost this comp is for gaming. I will be keeping these from my old comp 2x 780 ti, Rog Xonar Phoebus (soundcard) and will Add A PCI-E SSD ... ROG Raidr Epress or G.SKILL Phoenix Blade.
I also have A Plextor M6e PX-G256M6e M.2 .. but the truth is I dont like it ...it will probably go on ebay.
So I will need some PCI-E lanes.
This is where the issues come up.
First of all I am not impressed with x99 or DDR4. Most gaming benchmarks show less then 1or 2 frames at most. Most of the time not even that. To me x99/DDR seems Like A really bad value.
LGA 1150 / 4790k. Main issue here is the 4790k only has 16 PCI-E lanes. However you can offset this with A good motherboard and A PLX chip. (if you were to do this witch one would you chooses)
x79 / 3960x/4930k ...maybe 4960x. Issues here, its the oldest of the tech, does not have some of the features of the newer tech. However some of the motherboards CPUs cost the same has the new stuff. ( assuming I buy new)
My thoughts are as follows. I can get A asus Rampage black ed for 330.00 new at newegg and pick up A 3960x/3970x on ebay for about 550.00 ish. But they are only PCI-E 2.0 ... so maybe I should get A 4930k new for the same price .. ARG. I have some mushkin 2133 redline that OCs very well... However I am spending 900.00 on OLD TECH. I could save money and get the 4790k .. but its only 4cores W/HT 8 ... but at that point I am spending 650ish and for only 250 more I could get the Rampage BE and 4930k .. witch is better over all. Or I just up out another 500ish and go all out on A x99/5930k and DD4.
ARG ... what to do.
