When switching out CPU's theres no need to go through the hoops of reinstalling Windows. After installing your Ryzen 2700X,you can go into your Device Manager from the Windows Control Panel, and choose to uninstall the device listed under Processor. After that's done, you can scan for devices...

For such a low power system, it's important to check a few things. First is to make sure you dont have other applications (Google Chrome, Word, Skype) running in the background taking up cpu resources.Second is the settings. Running CS:GO in 1280x720 could help you avoid these drops. If so, that...

That's a great buy. If it works and doesn't have any issues then buy it.

If your budget is in that range, getting a 2600 is a better option. The 2400g is for a cash-strapped person who cant afford a 1060. This is the route you should go for your price range. If you are looking for a cheaper system, ditch the fans, get a 2200g instead of 2400g, and purchase a 2x4gb or...

The i5-2500k is a great cpu even to this day. If you hold off for the next generation of Zen processors, you'll notice a bigger improvement than if you went to Ryzen now and it would be better worth your money.

Your motherboard is the most likely culprit in this scenario. AMD has a lot of cpus that will socket into a motherboard, but wont work because of the differences between AM3 and AM3+ (as an example). What you should do is return the 8370, keep running your current cpu a little longer, and...

The most likely case, if this happened suddenly, is you installed a bunch of anti-virus software which now runs in the background eating up resources such as cpu utilization and ram. Uninstall ALL of them and see if your computer operates faster. If not, then it is worth wiping your hard drive...

This sounds like an issue with the power delivery to the cpu. First, check your connectors to motherboard and cpu power. Then check your power supply. If you smelled burning, it could have come from your power supply. You can go see what chip was burnt on the previous motherboard and then trace...

After the FX-8350, there really isn't a better cpu to purchase for your motherboard. You've hit the top. A better solution to your problem is to update your entire platform from FX to Ryzen. This includes 8-16 gb of DDR4 RAM, a B450 or X470 motherboard, and a new processor(the R5 2600X is a...

The main issues that could cause this are a bad cpu mount to the socket or an issue in your power delivery(a loose cpu power connector). If neither of those work as solutions, then it is possible your motherboard or cpu has been fried.

No, the 120mm water cooler will not fit in the space for a 90mm fan. A better option is to use a tower cooler or some other sort of air cooler, installing a 90mm fan in the back.

The answer is simple. Yes. The architecture upgrade alone is worth your money, even if you drop to a four core (R3 2200g) from your six core. Looking at your current system, you could even use the APU's integrated graphics and notice a speed up from your 750 ti. If you choose to spend extra for...

THat or an AMD 290X

Overclocking will also help alot with frame rates at 1440p

No, the 780Ti is enough for most games excluding Crysis 3 and few others. It is a powerful card and only falters when it comes to 4k. 1440p is fine with a 780Ti.
