An SSD can boot your computer in 20s. Also are a speed boost when browsing files and whatnot. I would get a 240GB SSD and then use your HDD from that Best Buy computer.

i'm planning on selling this computer to a friend with the 960 in it and the 1060 in the new computer.

dual channel makes absolutely fucking 0 difference for gaming applications. if he's doing premiere, etc, then it'd be a small boost for essentially free but for gaming it doesn't matter. 

but I do agree, nobody needs 64GB RAM.. except businesses and workstation users.

Dual channel doesn't make a huge performance difference, you are right. But since he doesn't need 64GB of memory he may as well go for dual channel.

And your 1060? What GPU will you use then?

you don't need to be an OC enthusiast, it's just something nice to have

7700k > Ryzen for gaming every time, even when a game is multithreaded really well like WatchDogs2.. 

and if worse comes to worse, you can just chargeback on paypal
