Well damn my benchmarks crazy as shyt
"97.2% is a brilliant Desktop CPU score, it's the business. This CPU demolishes everyday tasks such as web browsing, office apps and audio/video playback. Additionally this processor can handle moderate workstation, and even light server, workloads"

The only thing I have to do is get an SSD and I am all set.

Get an aftermarket cooler and overclock it. You'll score even higher

-rename the game's folder (remember the original name)
-in your Steam Library choose the "delete local content" option
-close Steam
-revert game's folder back to it's original name
-open Steam
-in your Steam Library go to install the game
-it should find the folder and not have to download

You have to do the steam trick. Delete everything but steam.exe and your games. Look it up before doing it though. Once you have everything deleted steam will repopulate the missing files. There's a guide on transferring steam games onto a new hdd. Look for that. Backup everything before trying it first though.

Go with the 5820k and the 980ti (it's stronger than the 390X, plus nvidia cards are just better in my opinion)

Told you

Don't even try overclocking until you get a better cooler.

What do you mean by 120-150? 120c is impossible with that CPU. It'd melt it. It starts to throttle at 90c to protect it from damage.
