So yeah. It's happening. I gotta take off my red shirt and go baby blue this time around. AMD served me well for so many years (every computer i've ever built since my Pentium 4 was RED)
I was planning on upgrading my Video Card, going for a RX480 or 1060GTX since i play only on 1080p at 60fps, so more than that is just overkill and overbudget.
Thing is, my 8320, overclocked and all will bottleneck the fuck out of my new VGA, so it's time to upgrade.
My wife needs a PC for audio editting, so i'm re-rigging my old 8320 for her, and upgrading for myself. Heh! Sucker!
The reason i decided to go with Intel this time around is that there's no good AMD option that i can see right now to stay with my current motherboard, which is great and all but it's getting old faster than i expected i must say.
Can you guys prove me wrong? Is there a valid AMD option right now? I plan on playing mostly BF1, Overwatch, Dota2, and whatever the hell triple A thingie comes out. I must say during the BF1 Beta my current rig held it's ground magnificently letting me play confortably at 60fps with medium-high settings.
IF NOT, i'm planning on getting an i5-6600k or 6400.
I do need help in the motherboard part, i have no freaking idea on that subject when it comes to intel.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
