First time building? Or just a new rig?

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

If you want RGB just get a 60cm cablemod rgb kit

You already have an i5-4690k... 16GBs of RAM... and overall a decent setting. Why not just upgrade your PC to an RX 480, throw an SSD in it, if you want a new case, get one, and OC your PC?? No need to go from a 4690k to kabylake..

You could do this if you dont want to overclock.
I know someone will comment about stock coolers and saving money, but I used stock cooler and would rather stick my head in a jet engine than listen to that thing again.

THE MLG BUILD OF MLGNESS. Jk but the R9 Fury is almost as good as the 980Ti and a wide margin better than the 1060 or 980
