Upgradeing pc

Hello im upgradeing my pc's basic specs here

Cpu: i3-6100

Gpu: msi gaming x 960 2gb

Ram: hyper x 2x4gb 2133mhz

Psu: 650 watt evga 80+

Im planning to get a gtx 1070 and r5 1500x with 3200mhz ram and my budget is 900. Ik gpu prices arent good right now so i was going to go ahead and buy the r5 ram and mobo and get the 1070 later is this a good idea?

I dont plan to do video rendering and things like that so i dont need more than 4 cores 8 threads.

If you're planning to do any gaming at all (anything beyond a horrible minecraft experience), then yes this is a horrible idea.

Sure getting the 1070 later is perfectly fine. a GTX 960 paired with a 1500x will be perfectly good together.

1080@60p?

 

*edit*

 

so confused. i thought the top list was what you were planning.

 

R5 will be just fine paired with a GTX 960.
