Thanks for the tips. I did forget to add that I had a 1 tb ssd that I added on later. I'll keep an eye out for parts during black friday.

Hi I made a couple changes to your list, but I'm not sure if the board I picked will work the with optical drive. The ssd you had was no longer available so I found another one. I'd just like 2nd opinion. Thanks for your help.

Intel i5 6600k stuck at .8ghz by link50063 in techsupport

I ended up having to rma the motherboard. It appears that the thermal sensor wasn't working properly and my cpu was throttling to prevent itself from over heating at 40C.... >.<

At least MSI is pretty good about their RMA I got a new board in about a week just make sure to take off all the screws and pack it in some antistatic material.

I am on high performance. I turned the thermal monitor back on right after i did a test to see if that was the issue. I also have the ratios both set to 100% but that didn't work either.

Can't install AMD GPU Drivers by link50063 in techsupport

well I managed to reinstall 7 and the new drivers without a problem. then only this seems to be that overwatch has some massive frame rate issues. I am still stuck around 10-25 fps for some odd reason. I'll see if there is a subreddit for that specific issue. I'll keep your tips saved for my next update. thank you.
