    HDD is both GPT and MBR and cant convert MBR

    Hi there, So currently I'm building a lab PC and it had a HDD in it previously. So I stuck it in my main rig and found it was using MBR.

    Hyper 212 evo install

    R9 290 Poor Performance

    Try installing the beta driver? sounds like it's not that optimized for GTA5 yet, it will most likely be fixed eventually but don't expect it anytime soon.

    amd fx help

    8320 as it has 2 more cores than the fx 6300, there are also other slight differences as well but just go for the 8320 which you can OC to a 8350 anyway since its pretty much the same or is the same chip

    Battlefield 3 FPS

    What CPU do you have? I'd say your RAM is restricting you as battlefield 3 and up is pretty heavy on RAM usage but for the graphics wise.... CPU could possibly be bottlenecking the GPU. I had the following Sapphire 7870XT AMD FX4300 All other games worked fine, until you come up to badly...
