    i5 4690k, i7 4790k, or Skylake/Socket 1151 (Streaming, Gaming, Rendering, Lots of Chrome tabs *lul*)

    So I'm currently running with an AMD FX 6300. It did well for what I wanted it to do, but now I have a GTX 970. I feel like the 6300 is a huge bottleneck considering my performance in GTA V (minus the memory leak). On top of the performance, I also want to stream and make YouTube content, not...

    Upgrade pickle (290, 970, or wait for 300 series?)

    I've been thinking a lot lately about what GPU to upgrade to lately. Right now I have an AMD FX 6300 and an R7 260X. I won't mind the 6300's bottleneck too much because I will be upgrading to an i5 4690k, a Xeon E3-1231v3, or an i7 4790k after I upgrade my GPU. I want to be able to stream...

    CPUID HW Monitor showing very high voltage

    So my CPUID was version 1.22; the latest version is 1.26. Installed 1.26 and we are at CPU-Z's listed voltage. Much better. But still not the same as the bios. Is that normal?

    CPUID HW Monitor showing very high voltage

    The voltage in my BIOS for overclocking my AMD FX 6300 is set to 1.275V. CPUID shows anywhere between 1.728 and 1.824V. CPU-Z shows a normal 1.296V-1.368V. Not sure what's going on here. Is this normal?

    nvidia gtx 960ti?

    The rebates are SO worth though. And they don't take long to do at all.

    Upgrading R7 260x to _________ (GTX 960, GTX 970, something from AMD, or wait for a 960 Ti?)

    Not sure where to go with this. The general consensus is the GTX 960, though great, is a bit underwhelming; when overclocked, however, it can give you great frames in the most demanding games ($210). The GTX 970 is THE card right now. Regardless of the 3.5/0.5 GB distribution, it still stomps...

    Best Motherboard for overclocking AM3+ (AMD FX 6300)

    Bump for this. And again id prefer some kind of blue color scheme for the board. Thanks!
