Title plus it has 16gb ddr3 ram. How will would this work starting out. The psu is 1000w couger psu. How would this be for gaming. Its already built so I can't change it. I plan on going Intel sometime but probably not for a few months at least.

Your going to bottleneck ur gpu alittle bit for sure but not quite as bad as most intel fanboys will say. I'm running an AMD A10 7860k OC'd to stable 4.2ghz and a Asus Strix R9 390 gpu w 8gb Vram. My buddy built an i5 6600k rig with my same gpu and he gets @ 4-8 more fps then i do, of course at highest settings. Only game so far where I couldnt stay near him was Dying Light, and all I had to do there was turn down the anti-aliasing, then our fps was almost the same again. (games compared- Paragon, Overwatch, Titanfall, Kill Floor 2, Dying light, Heroes Storm, Shadows Mordor) I'm also going to build a Intel based rig this year sometime and use my current gpu, but for now I already had the A10 (was using onboard R7 250 gpu cores for a...

Hope this helps

depends on the game in some games there will be a minimal deference but in others that are cpu dependent you could see a significant drop in performance. I think you can still max out all games at 1080p.
