    Sweet Spot for Performance & Budget.
    Intel's Skylake Processors are impressive! I upgraded from an AMD FX-8350 and the performance gain is impressive. I paired this CPU with 8GB of G. SKILL Ripjaws 8GB DDR4 & a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 and the performance is lovely, DOOM runs like a dream and never dips below 60FPS. For cooling I'm using the Corsair H60 and idle temps are around 26 Celsius, nice and cool.
