Can't argue with that. Nice purchase. Top spec.
@aggi errm... maybe, maybe not? I am not sure, I know DayZ loves a strong CPU, I have a 950 which runs most things on pretty high (on a TV so @1080 ). Do I even need to upgrade? 8 GB of ram is enough right?

My desktop and laptop both have 16GB but that's just overkill (RAM was cheap when I built the desktop, I got the laptop second hand from someone who'd specced it out to the max), I rarely come anywhere near that.
My desktop has a four year old i5 that is probably a little faster than your i3 (was only £150 four years ago) and it's never struggled.
Maybe log CPU usage for a while and see what maxes it out and whether it's noticeable https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

Another reason I have no qualms about paying top dorra for someone else to do it.
Setting it up is tricky as I now only have one monitor and I'm working :S
