Switching from AMD to Intel

jeremyek · Nov 26, 2016

I am going to be upgrading to an Intel build, and was hoping for some feedback.
PLEASE NOTE: most of the parts are parts i already have! The cpu, mobo, case and ram are going to be bought later.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend these changes:

GPU: ASUS Strix 1070 (MUCH better cooling and a higher thermal threshold, better software and stability)
Motherboard: Asus Z170 PRO GAMING or MSI Z170A GAMING M7
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series DDR4-3000

Also:

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Don't go for that Mobo with an unlocked CPU, it's very limited on overclocking. You'll have to go with the "Z" series motherboard to get good overclocking.

That looks perfect! I was looking for a budget black mobo and wasnt sure what to look for but that looks like it would work great with the build
