Yet another build advice thread.

I was going to wait and still might until the next GPU models arrive from Nvidia. But that looks a fair way off.
Signature has my current rig used mainly for gaming. I have been Intel for many years but have been hearing good things about AMD recently so perhaps my next build will be around an AMD chip.

With that in mind I am looking for M-ATX mobos with a bit of LED bling (red and/or blue perhaps) CPU, some ram, 16/32Gb also with LED's, perhaps a PSU as I have had the Silverstone for quite some time and it has served me well.

Are you having any issues in games? Upgrading wouldn't give you much of a performance boost, overclock your CPU or maybe see if you can get a second hand 6700k.

wait a little , if you really want to eek out performance, 7700k will be selling cheap soon enough

Not at all, just putting out feelers really.

Cheers mate.

next gen might show if CPU will be limiting factor. and guessing reviews would show if its time for 6700/7700k owners to step up CPU if gaming at 1080p etc

Nvidia I believe are holding a press conference regarding the new cards on the 19th FYI
