Depends what games you are playing. Most games won't benefit from the extra threads an i7 offers.

If you are playing 4k the gpu will be doing almost all the work. You will not be able to crossfire you 480 with whatever the vega card is going to be. Different architecture cant be crossfired and not the same exact card(with some exceptions)

Ok but 2rx480 could handle 4k easily ye? Am a bit of a graphics hoe so i would want ultra

Some yes some no. You'll need to turn down settings. Youll still have a tough time hitting 60fps in most games.

This is true but uplay games u could run 2 titan x's and still only get 60fps at 1440p with them overclocked its dependent on the game as my single 480 runnins 4k 60fps on like low-medium on bf1 and 80fps ultra at 1440p
