My current system consists of; Intel Pentium G4400 ASUS PRIME Z270-P MSI Radeon RX 570 Armor MK2 8gb OC 16 gb Crucial 2133 CORSAIR HX Series HX750 500gb SSD My gaming PC died, so I want to upgrade this machines processor so it will run games at 1080p 60fps. I also play and record music on my...

A question about that. When the motherboard lists the compatible RAM speeds with an (OC) next to it, does that means you need to overclock the CPU for the RAM to run at that speed? I've looked it up multiple times, and the best explanation I've found said "it will run at that speed if...

Year, that's what I thought. Thanks. So this is a good build then? Is it overkill for the uses I described?

Isn't it better to have 2 chips for dual channel? Or is there a big difference? It's only about $5 more this way.

I'm putting this together for a friend. It'll mostly be used for writing, browsing and basic things like that. He also wants it to run games. If he gets into gaming he'll add a gpu, etc, but for now he doesn't need it. His budget is "as cheap as possible." Anywhere I can cut corners on this...

What I have so far: ASUS PRIME Z270-P MSI RX 570 armor mk2 8gb oc Corsair hx series 750w psu 500gb ssd 2tb hd I don't know if this is an ideal set up, but it's what I got. I'll be adding 16gb ram I need a processor. Ideally, the ram and processor will cost $300. If I need to wait a month or two...

Hi, I'm having a problem where my system takes longer than it should to do certain things. Right clicking on Recycling bin will give me the spinning circle for up to 30 seconds, sometimes longer. Sometimes I'll double click an app, I'll see the spinning circle, then nothing happens until I open...

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't realize the 8 pin connector split into two 4pin.

Hello, I'm building a PC for my father who will use it to watch Netflix, check email and play solitaire. The only real requirements are to be as cheap as possible, have an HDMI out and he wants a quad core processor. I used pcpartpicker.com and relied heavily on their compatibility check and...

What do you think? The total price will be $413 after rebates and everything. The parts marked "Purchased" are from the PC this one is replacing. What's missing? Any bottlenecks? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor...

I made some adjustments. What do you think? PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3n2GO CPU: AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor ($139.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($58.00 @ Newegg) Memory: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory...

Thanks. That's right around what I was looking at. But let me ask, why the GTX 750ti over the R7 260x? I was looking at the 970 motherboard also, but I read that there's a comparability issue with the FX processers.

I've read so many reviews/forums, I've officially confused myself. Please give me some advice. I want to spend as little as possible to cover my needs (obviously) but also have a system that won't be outdated too soon. I'm going with the 6350 and 8gigs 1600ram. Is that fast enough ram? I already...

Hello, I've been planning a build and I'm trying to pick a CPU. I've already been through the AMD vs Intel debate and since I want to spend around $100 it seems that AMD delivers more bang for the buck at that price range. Now the question is how to figure out which AMD CPU should I go with...
