Alright bois! I am almost finished with my New PC upgrade. Here are the before and after specs:

CPU: Amd Phenom 2 1090T ------------- Ryzen 7 1700
Ram: 8Gb of DDR3 at 1333mhz -------- 16Gb of DDR4 at 3200mhz
GPU: Asus Strix 970 ----------------------- MSI Seahawk 1080 Liquid Cooled
Motherboard: Asrock Extreme 3 R2 -- Asus Crosshair VI Hero
Hard Drives: 3.5 TB WD/Seagate ---- - 500Gb Samsung 850 Evo + 4 TB Western Digital Black
PSU: 650 Watt Corsair TX Bronze ----- 750W Evga Supernova G3 Gold Fully Modular
Case: Antec 900 --------------------------- Coolermaster Master Case 5T
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 ---------------- Wraith Cooler (For now)

What do yall think? Yea I could have waited for Vega but they were having a zomg sale on the MSI Hybrid 1080 and really, I am just using it as a stepping stone for Volta.

That is an amazing jump. You should be tickled pink. :)

How did you survive with that Phenom for all this time? I only stuck with mine for about a year before the need to upgrade came along, even running at 4ghz with a 3ghz NB clock, it wasn't enough. (Plus I wanted USB 3.0, Sata 3.0, PCI-E 3.0.)
Did you have it overclocked?

Well funly enough, I mostly didn't use it all that often for the past few years cause I was in another province for my bachelors. And then when I came back, Amd announced Ryzen and I was like f it, I may as well wait and so, I waited about a year or so which wasn't too bad cause overwatch came out and the good old phenom still managed to run it at 60 fps without any drops. I was mainly with my laptop for the most part when I was doing my bachelors so... For it's last few years, it was mostly just not doing much. Still, thanks to my 970, games weren't too much of an issue for the most part since many games ran at pretty good fps. 

If I didn't go to Edmonton for my bachelors, I'd probably gotten an intel system by then though loll

And nahh, I havn't overclocked it yet. Computex showed off some really good coolers which I am waiting to come out before I oc it.

And yea, the upgrade is amazing!!!!
