so i recently upgraded to a i5 6500, 16gb of ram, and a 1tb hdd.
i re-used my gtx 970 sc..and i have to tell you guys. the difference is night and day. if anybody was debating amd vs intel. i will recommend intel going forward. even though the processors are ABOUT the same speed, just differently threaded, this i5 is so much smoother.
btw..i duno how i feel about win10. it's not as bad as i made myself think it was.

Yeah i5 is pretty good i have it, i will always stick with win7 though because im most familiar with it
i wish i could figure out how to load windows 7 on this setup. i mounted my win7 iso to a bootable usb. keeps asking me for drivers whenever i try to install. i put the cd in and nothing happens.
win10 was my only alternative because it has the drivers preloaded in the OS.. with amd i never had that problem
