I do like this idea. One caveat, is I have a msi 970a-g46, which as is known to have MOSFET \ VRM overheating issues due to the 4+1 phase. In fact, there was a BIOS update that actually throttles performance when a FX-8xxx is used, because the TDP is too high for the board's default heat...

See my response to wantapple. I agree that RX480 represents the future, but the performance metrics in the interim shows that we are not in a black and white situation.

Opening a can of worms here, but the real question is how much the gap would close between the 1060 and RX480 in DX12\Vulkan situations. There is little to no doubt that AMD will benefit from continued proliferation of DX12/Vulkan, and DOOM has been the best example of nice jumps in...

Freesync would be cool, but this is actually a home theatre\gaming setup in the basement, so the 55" TV is my only monitor. I specifically scoped out this TV because of low lag, and visual quality at a good price. There really wasn't anything I could find in my price range and features that...

Good points all around. I'll wait at least until the 1060 AIBs get some real world benchmarks and DX12/Vulkan comparisons to see if it's worth the extra $$ for the performance. Then I can look at a CPU upgrade in the near future, and have a more balanced build. Thanks for the responses.
