What is the best to get?
I am changing my mobo MSI Z97 PC mate, ddr3 16GB RAM and Intel Core i7 4790 3.60GHz processor for a mobo that supports ddr4 memory with an i5 8600k processor and 16GB ddr4 ram. What do you recommend me to get from this website? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/

Go on your PCPartPicker.com and copy & paste the PermaLink into here.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ < This url will only show us the list we have on our local system; not the one with YOUR parts.

Also what do you have for things such as:
> Power Supply
> OS

You're going to want to redo your OS clean install after such a hardware change.
And that you will want to install Windows 10 64bit

I just only wanna upgrade my trashy MSI Z97 PC mate, i7 4790 cpu and ddr3 16gb memory. I want something that is better and around about £600 or a bit bellow that value. I have an EVGA 750P2 platinium PSU and SSD for just windows 10 and HD mainly for my games and other programs.

Yes but you still want to clean install the OS with such a Motherboard change as this.

That's good enough, I got everything backed up. Plus will i have to buy windows 10 again?

It says on the website "Warning: These parts have potential issues/incompatibilities." Highlighted in red.

Yes because Prime X370-Pro is an AMD board, get this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PG2rTH

So will that all fit in my Corsair Carbide Air 540 Cube Case?
Link is bellow of the model that i own.

Yes or course. I'd highly recommend better board though; like the ASUS Z370 Prime Pro
Pretty much any of the GSkill or Corsair RAM should be fine; models offered in 3000 or 3200 for example.

op has 4790k, z97 board and gtx 1070 running a single 1080p display

whats the problem, why do you feel you need a cpu/mobo/ram upgrade?

Cause DDR3 will be outdated soon won't it?

DDR3 isn't going to suddenly stop working and is still available to purchase new.

As a word of warning you might not notice much difference in performance.
InfinityJosh Sep 5, 2018 @ 9:21am 
No reason to upgrade, less than 20% more fps in most games.
_I_ Sep 5, 2018 @ 4:18pm 
ddr3 may have lower freq, but it also has much lower timings

the speed difference are not nearly what it looks to be
speed / cl = value, higher = better

if the ram kit is 1600 cl9 = 177
ddr4 3200 is often cl16 = 200
its only a 12% difference, and there are ddr3 1600 cl8 kits with exactly the same performance of ddr4 3200 cl16

for cpu performance its nearly the same if you can oc the 4700k
unless you really need the i7 8700k for the 2 extra cores

He has the i7 4790, it's signifigantly slower then the 4790K, and it's impossible to really overclock it, maybe if you're lucky you'll get it to 3.8 GHz. But that's about it. Personally I wouldn't upgrade from my i7 4790K it's still a great CPU and it can handle all modern day titles at maxed settings 1080p. Unless he needs more cores for like rendering then yeah, he should go with it. But if anything he should go for the 8700K.
