    Is the AMD FX 8320 and the MSI Msi 970 GAMING worth buying

    I know this is a very late answer but as I have a 8320 together with an MSI 970 Gaming MB I can say that it works fine, but keep in find that it is a 970 based chipset. I have my 8320 overclocked to 4,4 Ghz at 1.44v. Any higher causes one of my cores to fail in P95. Annoying things with this...

    Half my Memory is Hardware Reserved, help.

    Hi guys. I stumbled across the same problem today. Just want to let people know, in case they are looking for answers that I fixed it by dialing back my HT and CPUNB ratio by one step. Seems like the memory controller just did not cope with 16GB with a controller of 2600mhz. After this it showed...

    Question about my CPU temperatures, socket vs package AMD FX 8320

    Changed fan settings in bios and after 10 minutes of small FFT it gave me this. Besides the CPU core voltage, don't mind the rest as HWmonitor shows the wrong voltages. I gave close attention to AMD Overdrive and I noticed a few drops in frequency (not noticed by HWMonitor) sometimes going...

    Upgrade PC for CSGO low budget

    Hi man! You have a few problems with this build. 1: It is pretty outdated. 2: Your PSU will not be able to support much more than what you currently have. 3: Your motherboard is a socket LGA775, which means you have a outdated upgrade path if you don't have the budget to change motherboard as...

    PSU watt maximum?

    Thank you all guys. Seems fishy. I was just wondering since I was checking a long time ago for what pins it had which I needed to know for an upgrade, and I noticed the "max output capacity" of 780W. It just seemed weird. My PSU is powering a MSI 970 Gaming am3+ motherboard, FX-8320@4,4Ghz and...

    Can i get playable fps on GTA V with my PC?

    Yes, GTA V is pretty good optimized for PC. You may want to buy another 4 GB RAM stick though. (or at least double of the same of what you have now. don't mix different sizes, types, speeds or brands of ram)

    Can GTX 960 run with 400W PSU?

    @Karan11000 and @peakme , Both would be fine, yes. Just check the PSU has at least 20 Amps and a 6 pin PCI power connector.
