heres the list http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3417 top one is the best. although your better off getting a new AM3+ motherboard and an FX chip.

Could be your firewall acting up. Try adding the affected apps as an exception to firewall and see if it helps.

Your CPU is probably bottlenecking the system, you need to overclock (or preferably upgrade) it. What is your motherboard?

shouldn't really matter, but the Black slots are slots 1 & 3, so use those for the sake of argument.

Similar to my setup, its about the same as a PS4 if you ask me. If you OC the CPU & GPU it will beat PS4. Bear in mind that lots of PS4 & Xbone games are being released at 720p/900p 30fps (which is shocking), so if you can get 40fps on high settings at 1080p (which you can with that setup) then...

Yes you are correct in that you should be expecting to see the BIOS screen at first startup. Are all the fans spinning when you power up? does the PC shut down after a while or keep running? first take out the GPU and reseat it firmly, and try it in a different PCI-e socket. Also make sure that...

That motherboard is for AMD CPU's, not Intel. You need an LGA-1150 socket motherboard.

Get an Nvidia GTX950 or 960, anything above that will be bottlenecked by the CPU. EDIT: and you will need 8GB RAM, so upgrade that if you need to.

yes this is normal. What is your CPU? Different CPU's have different limits.

WIndows 10? I had the same problem when I upgraded. Control Panel > Power Options (Change what the power buttons do) > Change settings that are currently unavailable > *DISABLE* - Turn on fast start-up. does this fix it?

Obviously this is just like, my opinion, man...but I would say go with Witcher 3, it's a beautiful looking game, with a great story. You will be able to relax more as you can play it when you want as opposed to waiting for friends to be online, also if you live with your folks you'll get less...

http://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide-to-overclock-intel-haswell/ you will need to raise the vCore (CPU voltage) as well. keep an eye on temps in stress tests. Also you will need an aftermarket cooler if you are going to overclock.

are you sure its the GPU temp that's causing the shutdown? those mobos have a few issues unfortunately. what temp is CPU socket and north bridge hitting when it shuts down? also does it pass a prime95 test?
