Been pondering along similar lines myself with similar result ... for me it was compounded by fact I'd need DDR4 as well (currently have DDR3 8350) so have been conisdering relative value of 2400 vs 3200MHz and whether to get 16GB or econmizing on 8GB which possibility of upgrading later was an option - then I remembered that about 20 years ago I paid £320 for 16MB of 2nd hand RAM and decided £188 for16GB of 8Pack 3200MHz DDR4 wasn't too bad after all! Also, having had 3 CPUs on my AM3 mboard its been a bit since I invested in a full upgrade. As I think I also had 2 generations of CPU on both myprevious AM2 and 939 mboards I'm expecting to be able to upgrade on this platform in coming years - think I've been AMD ever since I switched after my investment in Intel's new "slot 1" future disappeared in one generation!After an evening of pondering, I've decided to go with the Asus ROG strix bundle with the 1600 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...-bundle-with-free-games-bu-06c-as.html#t=a1b3
