    What is the best overclock I can do?

    the best way to find out which one is causing freezing is to do one at a time, clock the cpu first and leave graphics card standard to find its potential. and the standard cpu followed by boosting your gpu. when your happy with both boost both together if you then have an issue do a check on...

    New GPU or Playstation 4

    upgrade graphics card 100%.... my reasons for this are: 1. you already own the games on pc, 2. games you don't own on it are cheaper on pc, 3. pc will always be upgradable 4. you can always stream your game to living room t.v. 5. you can bet the games look better on pc as your pc will be above...
