I’ve been running a variation of “Stork's Thunderbolt Build: i5-3570K | GA-Z77X-UP5-TH | GTX 650 Ti | Mountain Lion & Mavericks” for many years. Here’s a summary of my current setup:
Motherboard: GA-Z77X-UP5-TH
Processor: i7-3770K Quad-Core 3.5 GHz 6 MB Cache
RAM: 32 GB Memory (4x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Power Supply: Corsair 850 Watt HX850
Box: Corsair 500R
Video: EVGA GeForce GTX 680
Mac OS X El Capitan
Much of the work I do is heavily CPU intensive and I want to upgrade this machine. Does the following make sense?
Keep the same components, except:
replace motherboard with ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO
replace RAM with G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (4x8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory
replace CPU with Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151 [BX80662I76700K] by Intel
In other words: can I convert my current setup into a variation of “Stork's MyHero Build: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO - i7-6700K - GTX 980” by replacing the 3 components above? (I haven’t been able to find a GTX 980 so I thought I’d try to keep using my GTX 680 for a bit.
Will this work?
Thanks in advance.
