Will I notice the performance increase of an i7 6th gen vs a i5 7th gen? Can I not just update the mother board?

Naturally, the i7 is going to be better than i5 in terms of gaming performance. The only significant difference between Skylake and Kaby Lake is the ability to achieve higher clocks on the latter.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I'd stick with the 1060 for compatibility sake over the 480. I returned a 480 and went with the 1060 because of weird artifacting in opengl applications with advanced lighting. 

Mine crashes but I believe is due to me picking the cheapest 480 out there or driver issue hopefully, though its performance is really nice
