Hi guys i want to build a new PC that is air cooled this time as can't be bothered with the hassle of water cooling again. Want to upgrade my 2 x 7970 to a GTX 1080 and I know the PSU which is a Corsair AX1200 will be fine but i'm not sure how my CPU compares to current CPUs as to be honest not really been keeping up with lately. I have an i7 3930k, would this hold back the graphics card? Also wondering if the 16GB DDR3 would slow the system down. I plan to use a HTC Vive on this system.

Thanks.
