Lol true that...

- - - Updated - - -

i've been thinking.. i am always staying on the single GPU route.

so wouldnt it be economical for me to buy a microATX board, rather than an ATX board??

what could go wrong? will i be missing anything apart from extra PCIe 2 ports?

Hi [MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION],

I agree with you, if you are planning for future proofing, then you must go for the latest ATX MOBO.

Here are some options for you
Asus z97-PRO

The MOBO has in built function of WiFi and audio feature with that, there is no need to add any other peripheral devices like WiFi and sound card, and it’s support the SLI and CrossFire technology that means in the future, you can add-on a second GPU card for performance, instead of buying a new MOBO or replacing a totally new GPU.

To check the specification of Asus z97-PRO, you may refer to the link below
Motherboard | Z97-PRO | ASUS Canada

Good Luck.

how is it compared to low end discrete sound cards from asus?
Click to expand...

The Tech Report have conducted several discrete sound card reviews over the last few years, the latest of which covered the low-cost ASUS Xonar cards. They use a combination of testing hardware and blind listening tests to determine the quality, and have consistently found that discrete cards are preferable to integrated audio if you are using 5.1 or higher Speaker systems or else if you are using only 2.1 Speakers systems then integrated audio is enough.

Then no need for a discrete sound card as Supreme FX is indeed supreme over any low end sound cards whether they belong to Asus or Creative. So go with the following config buddy:

Intel Core i5 4440 -12600, (snapdeal.com)
Asus H97 Pro Gamer -10800. (amazon.in)
TOTAL -23,400.

The R7 graphics core in the A10-7850k is more powerful than the Intel HD 4600. I have not seen benchmarks in a while so let's just say the difference is 20% - 25%. That means the R7 iGPU could probably run some games at medium settings at 720p resolution.

In the longer term, getting the Core i5 is the better choice because if you install the discrete GPU in both Intel and AMD build, you will get better results with Intel. If you plan on replacing the CPU when you install a GPU, then that is a different story. Overall, it depends on what is more important to you a more powerful CPU core to finish up Photoshop projects faster and probably a little faster program compiling performance, or do you want better gaming performance?

It can be boiled down into the following two hypothetical situations:

1. Longer times to finish compiling and rendering (say another 5 - 10 minutes), but better game performance.

2. Quicker compiling and rendering times, but lower FPS performance (say about 15% fewer FPS).
