Title says it all. I have spent the past few days deciding on how I am going to go about upgrading my pc. I have decided that the CPU will be my first step, since a new CPU means new MOBO and RAM as well. Tomorrow I will order the 1500x and I am curious as to how much of a performance gain I...

What wattage psu would I need to run the below specs? CPU: Intel Core I5 4670K GPU: (x2) Radeon R9 270 (Crossfire) RAM: 12G DDR3

In assuming you can as they are both R9 270's but Its better to be sure. I currently have the Sapphire R9 270 (Dual-x) and instead of spending a bunch of money on a single better GPU I am thinking of going crossfire, as I have a cheaper lead on another R9 270.

My current GPU is the Sapphire Radeon R9 270 (Dual-X), I am curious as to if this GPU will bottleneck the Ryzen 1500x if I decide to get it. --Current Specs-- CPU: AMD FX 8310 GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270 (Dual-X) Mobo: MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) Ram: 12G DDR3

How much better is the Ryzen 1300x than the FX 8310? How well can the 1300x run games like GTA V?

I am looking for the best AM3+ socket processor for gaming for under $200. I need to replace my current one which is the AMD FX 8310. I have compared it with the FX8350, FX8370, and the FX9590. From what I have seen the FX9590 appears to be the best one. Any help here?

Okay so here's what i've got going on. Im tired of dealing with the faulty temp sensor on my cpu throttling itself, so I have 2 options. Option 1: Buy a new CPU and Motherboard with a budget of $200 Option 2: Buy just a new CPU (must be AM3+ socket) with a budget of $200 I currently have the...

This only happens when playing resource intensive games like GTA V. Ill be driving around and my cpu stays at around 3.57GHz with a temp of about 60c. Then all of a sudden the speed will throttle to 1.36GHz and the temp will read 206c, then slowly decline back down to normal. This is very...

My CPU is the AMD FX-8310, my GPU is the Sapphire Radeon R9 270 (Dual-X). Just from comparing these two, which one is the most logical choice to upgrade first. I feel as if one is bottlenecking the other, but I am not sure. If this were your setup, which one would you upgrade?
