Hey guys so I am planning on upgrading this Friday , these are my specs only thing I don't want to upgrade is my GPU since I just got it.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 CPU @ 4.20GHz
Mobo: MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard AM3+
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X 16GB DDR3 (4 x 4GB)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GS
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC Edition

So if anything I am just trying to upgrade my CPU , Mobo , & Ram but I need some recommendations before I do so. The bottleneck is pretty nasty on my current build so this is why I am upgrading.

I just built a gaming system and I'm running this exact setup with the GTX 1070. I'm able to run everything at 1080p with zero hitches on ultra settings. This is a great upper level gaming setup if you're not multi tasking and I highly recommend it.
