    1.8Gb free on SSD | SSD vs CPU Upgrade

    My Ssd is a 120Gb 750 evo. Only bf1 is bottlenecked and perhaps crysis 3 a little. When I play bf1 I get 50-60 fps on lowest settings 1080p with no change in fps when I got to ultra. Vsync is not on. On YouTube people play at 1440p full ultra and are getting 60-100fps.

    GPU Sparked as I turned my PC on

    So my PC randomly turned off while I was playing CSGO, which isn't a graphically demanding game. I notice the FPS wasn't very high. Once my PC turned off I noticed the GPU was very hot considering the ACX cooler on it. I tried to turn it on a couple times and nothing, perhaps a little flash of...
