Hi trusted advisors, I have the current build: CPU - Intel i7 2600k Motherboard - Asus P8P67 Pro GPU - Asus Nvidia 780 (Already upgraded as couldn't resist). Memory - 2x4GB Corsair Memory 1866 C9 SSD - 256GB Crucial CT256M4 SSD Cooler - Corsair H50 Now my scenario is my wife has decided that she would like to join me and play on some games and would like her own computer. For this reason I have already purchased a BitFenix Prodigy Case in order to build a Mitx build. The decision I am now trying to make is do I use this as an opportunity to upgrade my build to Haswell and then pass some of my current parts down to the mitx build, or do I leave my current build as is and just build a new mitx haswell build? The latter would obviously require me to purchase additional parts such as mitx motherboard for the i7 2600k and a new 1150 board. Part of me likes the idea of building the below: CPU - i7 4770k Motherboard Asus Z87 Sabertooth GPU - Asus Nvidia 780 Memory - 8GB or 16GB cant decide SSD - 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Cooler - Corsair H100i PSU - Corsair AX860i Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
There's literally no reason for you to get haswell on a 2600k. I mean sure some of the upgrades would be nice but it's a rather large waste of money for what is a rather negligible upgrade.
