I've been out of the loop for a while, and I'm looking to get back in.
What's a good mobo+cpu right now? Quality stuff, but not too expensive, so maybe not the absolute latest and craziest shit.
asus maximus viii ranger + i5-6600k

4 core is still the way to go for your cpu?
>>51877185
more cores/threads are better for heavy stuff like video editing, 4 cores are fine for webbrowsing and video games.

k series still worth it if i'm not looking to overclock?
>>51877280
Alright. Upgrading from an ancient phenom II as a part of a complete computer overhaul as I finally have more time to mess around with it again, so it looks good to roll with a standard 6600.
>>51877280
Retard. The only drawback from the k series is the lockdown, and even that can be bypasses with a bios update.
I know this is /g/ and all, but stop talking out of your ass.
>all my ram is ddr3
Well shit. Is Corsair still the way to go for ram? Doesn't look like any of the mobos I'm interested in still support ddr3.

What the fuck are you on about, if he doesn't want to overclock then why does he need a k processor??? It's just extra monies to the Jews for something he won't use.

Should be great senpai
Not OP but what is the cheapest laptop/netbook whatever that has the abosolute BEST keyboard.
I won't be doing anything remotely intensive so power isn't an issue but typing these reports with chiclet keys is going to be the death of me.

>A CPU designed to resist overclocking stress won't perform better on stock.
>>51878948
This is what I've more or less settled on.
I looked around for cheaper cpus, but the i5 is on sale right now, so it seems like the best option. I'm not clocking it, so I'm not getting a k. The Ranger seems like a great mobo and I see no reason to get a hero or something like that instead.
Kylpasta = thermal paste.
How is it? The prices are in Swedish. $1 = 8.4 SEK right now.
I'm also ordering it on my company, which cuts all the prices in half, roughly.
Will a 4790k and a 980 ti be good for rendering? I'm wanting to start using Maya for animating. Will this be enough for personal projects?

K is just added value for Intel
>k is a shill
>>51879043
Looks fine to me anon
>>51879347
Do you have anything to back it up other than your say-so? No? Well didn't expect you to anyway.

Found the Intel shareholder

Do no render with gpu because you will be out of vram. Just invest for good cpu and ram
