no, it's not worth it but you seem convinced to do it either way so i don't think you will listen. i think you just want to get shiny new parts

No

Why do you need more than 4?

Nope.

Dindu.

You for real?

>>51397616
>wat

yeah you need 10-12 GB of ram to take advantage of 980 TI, 8GB isn't enough.

>Why do you need more than 4?
i have 6 hard drives now but i dont use them regularly but it's nice to have more sata ports for backing up every hard drive or using RAID

And I bet you're running Windows on that too.

Get PCI SATA controller cards to deck out your storage, and run BSD or Linux on your storage box NAS machine, faggot.

mobo is cheaper
cpu is cheaper
performs the same for gaymen
performs even better for games that actually know how to optimize for moar coars
doesn't force you to pay 30% more for a POSSIBLE 0-5% performance increase

bulldozer is fucking godtier compared to this shit. not even mentioning piledriver aka excavator.
