Agree w Blackbird, you've hit the end of the talent tree for a AMD cpu. Just go intel. You can get some deals right now on the I5 6600k cpus and Z170 mobo's since the 7th gen Intel's just came out (with very small increases in performance) I just kicked my amd cpu to the curb last month and jumped to the I5, and man was I bottlenecking my R9 390 gpu. Ryzen sounds promising buuut, just go with what we all know works, intel cpu's (I'm a fan of amd gpu's however hence the R9)
