i5's are great for gaming.Quote:

I would agree with rainbow dash :) (still a beautiful name)
If you going for something extremely high like you are, then you are going to be paying out more for no reason.
If you are in the lines of making custom videos and multitasking maybe playing 2 games at once like most archeage people do I'd understand.
For editing and such just get a cheap as hell laptop xD
If you are looking at spending some money look at the new I7 6700k skylake, you will need an 1151 socket and DDR4 ram. The price of it is not too bad and id mix it up with a 970 GTX and 16GB ram. The motherboard you can get an EVGA Classified or a ROG Hero, maybe even a sabertooth if u wanna spend. But hey this all depends on what budget your working on, without knowing how much you wanna spend its impossible to point you in the right direction.
I do have a GTX 970 (used) that I am looking to get rid of. PM me if you're interested

I recently dropped 5k on my new gaming rig.
My processor choice (as of March this year) was an i7-4790k.
All the OC'ing you could ever need on a quad core.
It's all you need and it'll last for years to come!
I did a LOT of research before settling on this bad boy.
For those curious, I run 16-30 accounts in an old school MMO at once, which is why I went all out on the rig. Even with 30 toons up, I can move/zone/play with no issues.
So you're one of those guys soloing 25 mans, all from 1 PC somehow. Or just a major farmer?

Yeah probably not something you want to talk about in public... just say you need that rig for reasons like folding proteins or solving world hunger.Quote:

I will say you get some serious longevity with the i7 and to some extent the i5. Personally I just purchased an i7 4790k during this week's sales to replace my 6 year old i7 860. I've been running new games with no issues and a big part of my upgrade is because my motherboard usb is failing and its features are falling behind... :-)
Agreed on the 4790k. This is a processor that you can pretty much leave untouched for several years (and then you can start overclocking it hehe). I myself just purchased a 4790k to help future proof my system and paired with a gtx 970 (OC'd to comparable 980 levels) and a g-sync monitor incoming, I plan to leave my computer sans modifying for a while :D While the i7 is a bit more expensive, I would just pay the extra bit now and be done (mostly due to the i7 hyperthreading making it useful in anything just in case you need non-gaming cpu performance). The 6700k is apparently a great processor, but the only real difference between it and the 4790k is ddr4 ram. So far ddr3 is more than fine for anything, especially if you get a 2133mhz or 2400mhz stick.
want another 970?Quote:

I got sick and took a two week vacation.

Something about having a main tank that has 5 healers dedicated to keeping him up, while the rest of his toons stand back and chain nukes.
I LOVE EQ Because it lets you move full groups to any area your porter is bound. So changing zones is really easy.
I will also say, the single most enjoyable time I've had was a guild setting up in my zone trying to kill my main group.
I had so many mobs come at me that the zone was porting people around.
Then my 3 berserkers got involved.
They AoE melee decapitated the train...
I had 2 toons instantly level (well over 75% of a level for these two) in one pull.
And I didn't even have to pull the mobs.
They gave up after about 3 hours of trying to kill the group. I'd just rotate tanks in as cooldowns popped.
Active tank with cool downs is hard to kill when being chain healed.
:-D
But..... for the most part.... I run the groups for raiding purposes and to power level (I charge 150$ for a max level toon in 2 days).
