That is what I've gathered from other websites. There is basically no difference in games between the i5-6600k and i7-6700k. But the difference between the RX480 and GTX1070 on the same CPU is huge! Is the GTX1070 going to be noticeably held back on the i5-6600k to the point where the i7+RX480...

Thanks for all the replies. Everyone keeps suggesting I go big on the CPU now and upgrade the GPU later, but I think everyone is missing that I said I will absolutely not be changing out any hardware at all for the next 3 years. That was the agreement I made with my wife for her to be OK with...

The monitors are 60hz, I'm not buying a new ones. So you think the i5-6600k will hold back the GTX 1070 between now and in two years so much that it will be slower than the RX480+i7-6700k? It's such a big gap between the two in the anandtech review.

We play some online games together (Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead 2, Minecraft) but those run great with our current computers. However newer single player games that we've bought like Witcher 3 and Doom requires a bunch of settings to be lowered to play well. I want to get Mirror's Edge 2 as...

I wasn't sure if the lesser i5-6600k would hold back the GTX1070 that much, and yes I do plan on mild overclocking. I was leaning towards the GTX1070+i5 combo because for only $60 more for each computer build given my budget options, the GTX 1070 seems to get way higher frame rates than the RX...

I do not plan on upgrading or rebuilding again for 3+ years. The resolution my son and I have are both 1080p.

Greetings! I am going to be building whole new systems for both my son and me in the next few months (probably beginning / middle of October), and I'm trying to play catch up on several years worth of not upgrading or paying attention to the latest and greatest hardware. We currently have...
