It's fine but to get a bit more performance per dollar, get a 390 instead of a 390x (if it is cheaper where you live)

 

I committed the mistake of limiting myself to a strict budget, for a cooler to be upgraded, you just throw away the old one. Get the best cooler you can afford/could imagine you would want now instead of upgrading later on

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

MoBo: Asus Maximus VII Ranger                      Graphics: MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr (1494MHZ Core)       OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

If you absolutely need the K-Series CPU, by all means switch it.  The 6500 can be OC'd and for gaming purposes the BCLK OC is more than enough.  The OC won't be needed for many years down the road.
