What's your budget for the GPU alone?

 

Also, what's your power supply?

I prefer the Krait because I'm trying to make the whole system uniform in terms of color

Z170 is wasteful with a locked CPU. A Fury will increase performance by 30% over a 390

With that said, I can still have a good gaming PC with Krait right?

Yes.
