Zero chance I'd build any AMD rig right now. It'll bottleneck the hell of out a 1070 in many games. I'd rather buy a 6600k/z170 setup with a 1060 and upgrt the GPU later. Much easier and will actually be worth money. Once Zen drops the price of an 8300 setup will go to basically zero.

If you plan on a later cpu upgrade go with a skylake or kaby lake i3. That way all you will need later is a cpu(i5 or i7) and not cpu, ram, and motherboard.

Windows will need reinstalled with the new hardware and if its an OEM copy then you may also have to buy a new license.

I have to agree with them. Swap the FX with the new i3 or an i5. Or if you really prefer AMD...wait for Ryzen to come out.

What if i get a i5 4670k and a motherboad to support it

Supahos · Jan 7, 2017

It's the same price and lower performance to build a 4690k build right now, unless you want to go used... In which case I'd be on board with that
