Long story short! A friends iMac died and we need a new hack.
Would greatly appreciate some buying advise
Do we
1 - get a 170 series with the 6700k
2 - get a 270 series with the 6700k. (GA-Z270X-HD3P)
2 - get a 270 series with the 7700k
I was initially thinking the new motherboard with the 6700k as network and sound issues could be overcome later.
However the (GA-Z270X-HD3P) has the 887 audio chip and the Intel i219-v network, so we should be good to go?
PS our local gigabyte distributor has already stopped selling the 170 series. hence the dilemma
