Hey,
I am looking to upgrade my current build from an AMD CPU FX-8350
to the latest Intel Skylake 6700K CPU,
Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming G1 Motherboard,
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 3200 (2x16GB),
Samsung 950 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD
I already have water cooling configured for my current CPU,
a Thermaltake 875W power supply and
Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Graphics card.
Would all the new parts work well together? or would i make a bottleneck somewhere?
My build is mainly for gaming locally, and will be overclocking for better performance.
I was also looking at whether the Intel Haswell CPU 5820K would be better but i ended up deciding on the Skylake CPU instead, as the motherboards for the Skylake have more and better ports like thunderbolt and USB-C.
Would anyone have any better choices for the CPU, Motherboard or RAM?
or would what i have picked work good and last a while,
as my current CPU has lasted me since 2011.
Thank you
