Hello all Avsimmers

 

I just ordered at new PC since my old rig is on the edge of running FSX. Here is my new setup:

 

- asus maximus VII ranger Z97

- Intel Core i7 4770K 3,5 GHz (Haswell)

- Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 1866MHz Vengeance

- Gigabyte GTX 980 4GB OC

- EVGA Supernova G2 750W, 80+ Gold

 

My question to guys, ofcourse some feedback on the setup but also another one. I noticed on the website i ordered it there also was a Intel Core i7 4790K with 4.0GHz out of the box for about 20$ cheaper. So should i go with the 4770K 3,5GHz and maybe OC it to 4.0 - 4.2 GHz or the 4790K 4.0GHz out of the box. I appreciate all your feedback.

 

Best regards

Be careful as there are a number of different models of the 4790. The best version has a base frequency of 4GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.4GHz. There is another version which has a base frequency of 3.6GHz and a turbo of 4GHz - cheaper but not as capable. If you can get the 4/4.4GHz version of the 4790 cheaper than the 4770 then I would definitely go for it.

Here is a link to the webpage, i made a Comparison between them: http://www.inet.se/jamfor?compare=5311086&compare=5310054

 

Looks like the version you are talking about

Don't forget an Evo SSD.

Should i go with the 4790K? feels like the performance is better on that one. Wierd it's cheaper

I'd go with the 4790k, as long as it says turbo to 4.4GHz
