1. The road to switching

I bought my new PC back in October 2016 during my stay in Poland. The foundation of the build was an ASRock Z170 PRO4S and an i5-6600K.

I’ve been playing around with virtual machines for AD, networking and other purposes for a while now, and unfortunately it really ate up the CPU, not to mention that in games the i5-6600K was already bleeding sometimes if I was running anything else alongside it (it was at 100% utilization alongside a GTX 1060 6G), and with certain games I managed to hit a CPU bottleneck (despite it being overclocked to 4.4 GHz).
