You see that's all good and all but when your first look for pc prebuilts with no real clue of what you need it's very difficult. Most prebuilts are fausly advertised as "gaming ready pcs" I had a mild notion of computers before I bought it but I never really used AMD I always used intel. It's...

thanks for the help

No I didn't even really choose the cpu myself it started as a prebuilt pc. But by now I would have been better building my own. I've nearly replaced everything on my pc bye now the pc was no where near worth the money. At the start I was looking for a quick option. Before this pc I was working...

Right so if I was going to upgrade everything is there anything you could recommend for the 960

Yeah cpu temps are fine. I don't think it would take much as I'm only running a gtx 960. If I was going for a bigger gpu I would probably upgrade both mb and cpu but. I think it wouldnt take too much of an upgrade. Should this cpu be good enough with this gpu, mabey there is something else wrong.

my pc presently consists of: 650w corsair psu msi gtx 960 gpu gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2 MB AMD A8-7650K RADEON R7 CPU 16 GB OF RAM 1TB HDD I believe that my pc is being signifficiantly bottlenecked by my cpu. from the benchmarks i have run on 3d mark, the cpu allways seemd to be holding the pc back...

I was worried I had done that as well. Just to see if it's drivers. How could I delete the drivers for that specific gpu because I have used a few gpus on that system and don't want to lose them drivers I have already tried reinstalling drivers but that doesn't work as card is not recognised.

So if I uninstalld Drivers should the gpu stop artefact ING and if it doesn't what else could have caused this issue that I may not have realised.

Thats the strange thing tho prior to the artifacting the card was perfectly recognised by everything. Now when I visit the nvidia site with the graphics card in it comes up that the card is not recognised

The scraper was plastic yes. I tried reinstalling drivers but the actual nvidia website didn't recognise the gpu to allow me to install drivers same type of thing as the pc. Tho I never tried reinstalling them. I believe the vs650 will be OK for me to use for my current build, although I...

I used compressed Air and cotten buds to clean all the dust and then used a paste scraper and scraped all the old thermal paste off. But I don't believe it's drivers I originally thought that but a reinstall of all drivers did nothin. One thing I noticed is that when the artifacting was...

Gpu was an evga gtx 660 New gpu is a msi gt 960 My old psu was a power x 3 This is a cheap crappy psu you will have difficulty finding it it's ment to be a 600w but I know thats fake its now getting ripped out of my pc and I'm replacing with a corsair vs650. So have you any idea what would have...

I bought a second hand evga gtx 660 to install into my pc. When I got it and installed it I noticed it that the computer would randomly shut down mostly under stress. My friend thought it might be down to the gpu I thought this strange as it was only hitting about 60-70° when under load. But to...

Yeah thanks I'll get a new psu then hopefully it will work

Yeah that's the psu l was so annoyed when I seen it for the money I paid for the prebuilt the psu was a joke from now on I'm sticking to building my own computers you just can't trust these prebuilt sellers. So is there any good psus with 8 pin connectors anyone can recommend. I also just...
