A bit of everything. Programming (ide's , compiling, scripting), audio (ide's, audio synthesizers, score writing software etc), web surfing, virtual machines for things like installing gentoo and then compiling everything from scratch, sometimes i also try out new things like 3d modelling (mostly for fun) and do a bit of gaming. Since i'm running linux, my gaming is limited in time and titles i can play. I don't care much for most AAA games, but i would like to get rid of the terrible stuttering (and fps), in gaming, that i'm getting from my current cpu - x4 860k (i even made a thread about that and will update it once i will have the r7 1700). I would also pair this cpu with an rx 470 card (which i already own, but did not use much since my cpu is limiting the hell out of it).
Since i don't plan on overclocking it much if at all, i thought i could save a bit of money by buying a simple yet durable motherboard. From what i read it has pretty good reviews, however i wonder if there are some caveats with pairing that board with the r7 1700 (sucky VRM's?).
