I built my first pc over a year ago now and recently the motherboard has crapped out on me and i also had fps spikes on ALL games.

Current Build

CPU - AMD FX8350 Black Edition
MOBO - AS Rock 970 Pro3 r2.0
GPU - ASUS Strix R9 380 4gb
Ram - G.Skill DDR3 (something, can't remember) 16gb
PSU - Corsair CX 750M

Now i'm looking at doing a rehaul of the system. Replacing the CPU, Motherboard and Ram. I MAY increase my expenditure to accommodate a new GPU.

Currently i'm looking at getting:

CPU - Intel i5 6600K (Cooler: Corsair H80i V2)
MOBO - ASUS Z170-A ATX
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400 Series 16gb

So basically could you recommend anything better? I'm a beginner in this place but i love gaming.

Thanks

That's a great basks for a gaming build.

Add an ssd and a new PSU (cx series are pretty poor) and keep the 380. Overclock it and the i5 and enjoy.

Then next year, if you want, add in a new gpu.

NOTES - you only need 8gb ram for gaming, and the h80i is decent but a good quality air cooler would do fine.
