Hi, i'm still at it, it's almost a year now and i'm about to finish the upgrades!
Basically i can get the i5 + mobo + 8gb of ddr4 ram for the same price as i7 + mobo and reuse my HyperX Fury 2x8GB 1866MHz CL10.
My question is which one will be faster and last longer?
I'm concerned that i7 is the older architecture with older ram but at the same time i'm already throwing out my M5A99FX and would hate to also replace just bought ddr3 ram + i5 build will be half in ram capacity for the same money.
Here are some benchmarks i found (sorry for Polish, this is the best i have).
