Yeah that is what I have read or seen in videos also. Either way the system will be a huge upgrade over my current rig which is:

i7-6700k
R9-390
msi Z270 gaming M5 mobo
samsung 950 256gb
random 1TB for storage
32GB of g.skill tridentz 3200mhz (I will put this ram into the new PC if it fits but it looks like the water tube might be in the way and this ram is 11mm taller than the ram that is in it.) Otherwise I will sell the ram and get 2 more sticks of what is in the new pc so I still have 32GB.

Already got a buyer for my old rig, minus the RAM.

Wow nice. I have a 4930k and a 970.

Nice, I usually go for an intel processor and a mid range AMD card. This will be my first rig with an AMD processor and Nvidia Gpu, I am excited to try the different brands hehe!

That is a cheap build compared to the rig that I won. The rig I won should be mailed today and I will know what day it will arrive when I get the tracking number.

Yeah but I notice on my current rig that the bottleneck is the gpu and the cpu never gets close to bottlenecking so it will be interesting to see the difference.

well yeah the 390 is a really quite unremarkable gpu to be paired with such a cpu

yeah I know but it was what I could afford at the time and I was planning to upgrade the GPU this holiday season but now I do not need to.
