ditch the 970 get a 1060. Its less expensive with more power. Other than that good

^That or an RX 480, and you should really get an SSD for the OS. The CPU is basically wasted if you don't have a fast storage drive.

Changed video card to an RX 480, updated CPU to a 7700K, updated RAM to DDR4, added an SSD and changed monitor to one that handles AMD FreeSync.

(get a 1060 not a 480. More games are optimized toward Nvidia cards.)

wait for ryzen to drop in the next month or two, intel cpu prices should go down

downgraded cpu to i5 7600k (you do NOT need a 7700k)
changed cpu cooler to hyper 212 evo (a bit cheaper than the cryorig, i have it in my pc and it works great for overclocks)
changed gpu to a gtx 1070 (really great gpu, will handle games wonderfully)
changed psu to an evga supernova 650 (a bit more expensive, but fully modular and works very nicely)

need an i7-7700k


get a nice bloody i5k, overclock it, and then get a sweet af gpu lol.

don't forget with the i7 7700k, Kaby Lake is pretty much the exact same as Sky Lake, get an i5-6600k, I got one with my 1070 and stuff runs beautifully.

well, vs a 7600k, for only 5 bucks more..........

for real tho, save the $100 or so, you're not gonna need 4.2GHz for gaming, or anything casual

...should i go with queebs then? 1060 or 1070?

i'd definitely keep that gtx 1070. it delivers great performance (iirc roughly the performance of the maxwell titan x?).


I'd get the i7-7700k with a 700 watt power supply and a GTX 1070 just so you can say a lot of 7s out loud.
