Alright, after scouring through tons of forums and looking at various gaming benchmarks, I have finally decided to jump ship to Intel, long overdue so I can finally give my Phenom 965 BE build to my mum
Just bought a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 mobo from NCIX open box for $165. Going to be going with an i5-6600K and G.Skill DDR4-3200 8GB of RAM.
Going to continue using my 7950 for now, until Nvidia or AMD's new stuff comes out then I'll see what I want to upgrade to. Otherwise if I see a very cheap 7950 I'll probably snag it and run Crossfire for the time being.
So happy to be finally dropping my ancient AM3 setup, more than anything I'm ecstatic about all the new mobo features LOL.
