Hello, what's your stance on overclocking and do you have any preferences on looks?

[Shadowpaw]

I will OC CPU for sure.
About pc look i dont have proferences but i like new cases with "window" and i want to build something good looking with one color inside (thats the reason why i didnt pick Noctua)

Sorry for my bad English i hope you understand what i mean

My opinion, just replace the GPU for now and just wait until Kaby Lake or Zen to do a full build redo. That's what I did/doing and I'm not having trouble running anything or making videos, etc.

I honestly don't feel the 6600k is worth it.

I use the same CPU as you too.

Kaby Lake or Zen

Both most likely wont change anything on desktop gaming market and Cannon Lake is 1.5 years away, realistically.

The 2500k is actually still a pretty good CPU, if overclocked. In my opinion, you should just get a good air cooler, get a new GPU, maybe get a new PSU (since you didn't list your current one,) and then OC your current CPU. Getting another HDD if you're running low on storage space is also not a bad idea.

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G is not better then ARMOR version?

I though you wanted single color scheme?

[Shadowpaw]

Sorry for incomprehension.
1st of all i want best performance in my budget and then pieces that will fit to ech other but also i dont want build where for example CPU cooler has different color then all other pieces and looks like lantern (you dont see anything but only that 1 part)

Wasn't the point really but one (Zen) will be a using a new board that will be relevant for a very long time and I'll be building an mitx system. After nearly 6 years its time for some new bells and whistles for me. He might be in a similar situation so I just suggested that.

No idea what was the point but unfortunately AMD is too far behind in desktop CPU performance.

Which changes with Zen so that point was pretty moot tbh.

Well MSI Gaming is exactly that - a lantern. It's red and black, has two sets of red LEDs on the side.

Not really. They will be more efficient, maybe have better multicore per dollar performance but that's about it.

You honestly don't know that and I'm just going to stop responding to you at this point since you're going into what if scenarios.

Information has already been leaked. You can not believe (and you probably shouldnt because it was an engineering sample) but it shows what people has been suspecting. AMD has been light years behind and with Zen they will improve immencely over the previous generation and will hopefully put some pressure on Intel to release something actually new or/and reduce prices.
