I'm so excited, yes I have to wait for Christmas for it to get here, but finally a chip that is not bottlenecking my 7870!

I was excited to get a i7 6700 to replace my FX 6300 to stop bottlenecking my GTX 960!

Wow this was old as heck, Need to update this signature!

Good deal! Too bad you didn't have a 7850k :P

 

A 4790k will serve you well

Especially since the majority of games I play are Skylines, Europia, ect. All very CPU intensive and the 5800K craps out late in game when A lot of stuff is processed
