I Just brought a new Pc and i was wondering how much of a performance increase will i see in games.

My current setup:
Motherboard - MSI 760GM-P34 (FX)
CPU - FX- 8120
GPU - MSI GTX 680 2GB
Ram - 8 GB DDR3 1333MHz
Hard Drive - 2TB 7200 RPM
PSU - Corsair GS600


New setup
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X99-UD3
CPU - Intel Core i7 5820K
GPU - MSI GTX 680 2GB
Ram - 8 GB DDR4 2133MHz
Hard Drive - 1TB 7200 RPM + 120 GB SSD
PSU - Corsair GS600

Virtually none.

1. X99 does squat in gaming, most games will show a slight decrease in frame rates going from Haswell / DevilsCanyon to X99. Generally ya don't go X99 on a gaming box unless ya thinking 3 or more GFX cards.

2. The AMD CPU mighta been somewhat limiting in some games but overall, not much of an impact in single player or in single card situations.....look here to compare the 8150 with the 5820 .... increases in SLI were from 2 - 20% .... you won't see anything that big with single card as SLI loadings stress the CPU more than single card does.

3. 2400 RAM can give you up to a 10% increase in some games (i.e. F1) over 1600 ... your increase is comparable but the...

3. 2400 RAM can give you up to a 10% increase in some games (i.e. F1) over 1600 ... your increase is comparable but the average on most game swill be 2 - 3%.

4. The SSD will boot ya machine in like 15.6 seconds instead of 21.2 seconds .... a hybrid HD will do it in 16.5. One TB HDs are usually older generation which would mean slower but if same (i.e. 7200.14), performance differences will be minimal. You will see no difference in loading times from the SSD unless the game is on the SSD....and given the SSD size, you won't fit many games on the SSD.

5. As the GFX card hasn't changed, you will see little overall difference in gaming performance.

An MSI GTX 970 would have had a significant increase in GFX performance (~40%).
