    plan to upgrade and could use some help with components


    I would like to upgrade my intel i5 4670k with this Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Refresh Quad-Core 4.0GHz LGA 1150 Desktop Processor BX80646I74790K - Newegg.com - Newegg.com but, not sure if it would be compatible with my Asus Z87A motherboard. I know they have the same socket but was wondering if I would get the full benefits of the 4790k or not such as the hyper threading etc. I plan to upgrade to an Antec 1200 case but could also use some advice on a PCIE 3 graphics card to replace my PCIE 2 His 4850 card with about a $300.00 price limit. Also, will my GSKILL Sniper memory be compatible with the new processor? Thanks for all help! :)

    Yes, that board will support the new cpu, you will need to update the bios for the new gen cpu. It will also work with a PCIE 3 GPU. The ram should be fine

    I am still reading around, and seeing conflicting info on if it will support the new CPU. I would contact ASUS to verify that the have a BIOS that will support it.

    I have been updating and have the latest bios as of this time but, I will make sure they are compatible before I purchase. Thanks! :)
