New computer

[Eagle77]

Hi,

I'm planning on upgrading / building myself a new computer, but I'm curious regarding AMD and their FX series. Will there be new CPU's from AMD with the FX series or should I go for Intel?

Planning on upgrading in Q1 2015.

Thanks in Advance

I don't think there will be an update to the FX for a long while. What processors are you looking at and what do you plan to use the system for?

Yeah I was afraid of that, mostly gaming so it's gonna be a high end PC.
4 years since I upgraded now so it's about time.

Yeah, your best bet is either a 4690K or a 4790K.

Okay, thank you! Now I just need to figure out what GPU I should go for or wait for next gen from AMD. Got Asus ARES in my current computer.

What resolution are you planning to game at? 1080p? 1440p? 4k?

What about refresh rate? 60 Hz monitor? 120 Hz monitor?

The R290X cards offer quite a good performance per dollar these days. If you can nab one for $299 or so, then that'd be a great deal and should give you plenty of performance for years to come if you're on a 1080p display.

At a higher resolution you may want two.
