get a 390, a h97 mobo and you will be of to the races (btw that psu is fine)

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

Do you plan on playing anything more intense than Arma 3 and gmod? If so, what is the most intensive game you plan to play? At what settings, res. and frame-rate?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
