What should I ask for for Christmas? Im between a Sous Vide cooker and a GTX 1060 or something. Anyone else have an idea of what I should ask for? I wouldn't mind something to upgrade my system

 

Also, would my FX-8320 bottlenect a EVGA GTX SSC 1060 6GB?

Really? I would imagine it would be better than a 270X. Might try for a basic Z170 System then

I think he saw your mobo and mistook it for a GTX 970 instead of a 970 chipset.

And you would be correct. I shouldn't give advise when I'm tired. :P

I would suggest asking for a skylake mobo+an i3 or used i5 then asking for a used 390 off ebay as you can probably get one around 200ish.

why would he do that when he has an 8320. It's definitely a capable CPU. 390 might not be a bad idea though, haven't really compared the 2

It is a substantial upgrade. It's like comparing a 750 Ti to a 980.

I don't think the 8320 is a problem. Even if it slightly bottlenecked it wouldn't be worth the cost to upgrade it.

You don't have to go skylake. You could go z97 on has well if you need to save a couple bucks.

I totally agree there is more internal validation when I spent all my own hard earned money on my computer than people giving it to me. So ask for things that you wouldn't spend your money on
