I have a gift cert for a store that only has z87 mobos currently. The gift cert is going to expire soon and I don't think they will get the z97 stock in before that. Am I missing out by getting a z87 instead of a z97? Should I go somewhere else and pay with my hard earned lentils?

Alereon posted:Note that your gift certificate is probably not expiring soon. Under federal law gift cards or certificates sold after 2010 may not expire for at least 5 years, and many states have laws saying the paid value never expires. Actually its a staples reward account and they are very limited since they aren't technically a gift card. It expires on 7/31 and supposedly I cant even return it after that period. Kinda sucks, well it sucks big time but I got enough to buy a CPU/mobo, 16 gb ram and a samsung evo 500gb SSD. They also price match 110% for newegg, amazon and any website that also has a B&M store. asus z87 expert http://www.staples.com/Asus-Z87-EXPERT-32GB-ATX-Motherboard-Intel-4th-Gen-Core-i7-i5/product_IM1RG1561 crucial ballistix 16gb http://www.staples.com/Micron-Consumer-Products-Group-Pc3-14900-16gb-Dimm-240-Pin-1866-Mhz/product_IM1UW7100 i7-4790 http://www.staples.com/Intel-BX80646I74790-Processor-Box-Coret-i7-4790-4-GHz/product_IM1UK1831 r0ck0 fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Jul 3, 2014 |

Are there going to be any more CPUs made for the z97 chipset? Is the 4790k the last and the greatest for this mobo?

Pretty much what I figured, I think the last time I upgraded my CPU without replacing my mobo was the celeron 300a.

The consoles might have more cores but they don't do any good.

Darkpriest667 posted:it's a .3V difference. It's less than 5 watts for 4 Dimms. That's not enough of an efficiency for the entire consumer market to be switched to a new standard. Hell, I fold 247 and even for me it's not enough of an efficiency to switch standards. For servers it is a big deal because we're talking about datacenters that have 10000 DIMMs in them.
