So my current situation is me coming out of a 7950HD and an 8350 FX.

I have a dual monitor setup (both HDMI) running at 1920x1080. 1080p is really my own interest and I don't see upgrading them for a few years.


GPU


My goal here is to be able to play my games at high to ultra (maximum preset preferred) on most of my games and a few that are coming out this year: ME Andromeda, Resident Evil 7, Red Dead Redemption 2. MOST of my gaming, and when I say most it's about 85% of my gaming, will be FFXIV.


My current card is dying and unfortunately I need something asap.
Is the 1070 overkill for my needs?
Is the 1060/FuryX better for my needs?
(Assuming max GB)



CPU

The CPU I'm focused on is 6600 / K.
In anyone's opinion is the K worth it if I'm not going to OC?

k is not worth the price if you are not going to take advantage of overclocking

a 1060 is a good match


a 1070 requires an i7 to take full advantage of
