like I said its like putting more wood into a fire, bad cooler

Ok

Should I get an Nvidia GPU, is there any around the same price that are just as good, I would like to stay below 1300, I wouldn't mind gimpiing my CPU for a better GPU, but would like to stay Red+Black?

That psu isn't the best. The newer RMi or RMx are a lot better. Also EVGA G2 is usually cheaper.

you could change the i7 to an 15, or just get one thats not skylake, then get a cheeper MOBO, such as the asus z170-gaming :P
