I personally feel like a 6th gen i7 is going to be good for a few years yet.
I would watch the price on 1060, in that they are so in demand as a mainstream card that we haven't even seen a whole lot of downward movement on price in with the "break" in mining. That has not been the case for 70/80 series cards. Even now, depending on feature, the price difference between a nice 1060 and a "stock" 1080 is barely over $100.
Hi, so I just noticed something. I was thinking about the future what I would want to upgrade next after the GPU. In a few years I wanted to upgrade to a new CPU. But by doing so, my mobo and ram may get lost in the process
. Apperantly, I can't upgrade to another CPU, except the i7 7700k but I need a bios update and it went wrong last time around I did this with my old motherboard (m-flashed to wrong updates). So that's the last thing I want to do here. Would rather buy a new motherboard... If I only knew, I would've gone for a cheaper motherboard or an i7 6700k. I won't be doing this a second time that's for sure.
In any case, I hope you're right and I won't have to upgrade untill 4 years from now cause I hate this kind of stuff.
Is the stock cooler also good enough? Or do I need another cooler. I have an Aerocool GT-A white: 1 front fan, 1 back fan and 2 topfans.
I'm upgrading to an RX580 too btw.
