My PC is getting old and I starting looking to buy a gaming PC. Since my budget is not unlimited, I have choices to make and would need some advices. Where should I choose?
Video Card, Right now I have a decent one a nVidia GTX 660. Not the best.
That being said, I was looking on multiple choices.
Motherboard, there are gaming ones and more generic ones. The gaming one are a bit more expensive, does it worth it?
CPU, Intel-i5 vs i7, 4th gen vs 6th gen? if 6th gen, 6700 or 6700k. I know that the faster is better but does it worth the price/performance?
Should I keep my GTX 660 for now and upgrade to a GTX 980 when the price drops in a year or should I upgrade to a GTX 970 right away and wait longer before upgrading it?
What are your recommendations?
Thanks
Dany

Unless you have something to do with so many threads (no game needs them), i7 just does not makes much sense.
