I'm building a $400 PC for a friend, and need some advice. He wants as much raw performance he can squeeze into the build. Here are my parts so far: CPU:G4560 MOBO:??? RAM: 8gb Case: ??? PSU: EVGA 600 watt non modular GPU: ??? I'm thinking of going used, and here are the parts I'm considering...

I am going to take advantage of nicrocenters sale ASAP. I5 6600k for $180? Hell yeah! Anyways that's about $300 with MOBO and RAM, as they have a $30 off intel motherboards. BUT! I have an AMD FX CPU. I have ddr3 RAM. I really don't want to spend $70 on RAM, and not be able to use my current...

Just recently, my microcenter nearby cut almost all intel CPU in price by 10-30 percent. The i5-4590 is one of them. Currently I have fx8320e and GTX 1060. Therefore, I have ddr3 RAM. Since I don't want to buy more RAM and not use old set, I was looking at haswell CPU. Is the i5 4590 still a...

So I need some CPU advice. Currently I have an fx8320e non overclocked. I have stock cooler. It bottlenecks my 1060 a good bit, and stutters in games. So I have a few questions: Can I mild OC on the stock cooler. And on updrades: I use xplane 10, a flight simulator. The 8320e bottleneck said my...

I have heard all these rumors about how project scorpio will "have 6 Tflops of floating point performance" and 8 core CPU. Is this all reasonable? A console is supposed to be a somewhat affordable entertainment system. Should budget PC gamers be worried? I have a gtx 1060 3gb and fx8320 (yes I...

Wow guys thanks. My friend I'm pretty sure has the EVGA acx one or whatever. I know for a fact he doesn't OC. On paper my FX8320e sounds amazing.

I have a 1060 3gb and an fx8320e. Works pretty good. My friend who has i5-4690k and gtx 970 is VERY close in performance, despite having a far less superior GPU. Why is this?

I really need an intel CPU to upgrade from my fx8320e which bottlenecks my 1060. Is buying an i5 4xxx on eBay used a bad idea?

My friends parents are getting rid of their "old" PC. I looked at specs and it had an i7 2600. Would this be I viable CPU for gaming still. I realize I would need new MOBO, but would it still be decent. I currently have FX8320e and gtx 1060 3gb.

So right now I have an Asus m5a78/USB3 motherboard, FX 8320e and a gtx 1060 3gb. I know for sure that the 8320e bottlenecks. Are there any AMD CPU that would provide a significantly better gaming experience?
