The most important question is, what monitor do you have, which resolutions are you trying to achieve?

As others pointed out, if you buy a gtx 1080, that CPU will bottleneck you like crazy. I would suggest the following, unless you're really hurting for a new machine, give it a few months and see what AMD comes up with both on the CPU and GPUs (Ryzen and Vega).

The rumors are pretty strong that the IPC improvements will make them the better choice against the latest from Nvidia and Intel. Especially on a price/performance analysis.

Also, there's no such thing as future proofing a PC. You should always buy the most balanced machine you can afford for the display that you want to use.

I have a 144hz AOC monitor. 1080p. 

Yeah... I am just impatient lol. I shouldn't have gotten this pre built pc. should have built my own xD. 

I just want to play games at 60fps at 1080p at close to max settings. Is that too much to ask for?? heh.

Another question... if i wanted to keep my rx 480 could i just outright upgrade my cpu? would that help? another guy suggested throwing in an ssd which most people highly suggest.
