Wow I am such an idiot. I completely forgot to respond to this. If you guys see this, my budget right now is about $450. I also just posted another thread asking about an upgrade, sorry I took so long to respond.

I am thinking of upgrading my PC, but I am not sure whether to upgrade to a better graphics card, or whether to go for a new mobo, cpu, and ram. My specs are: i7-920 OC'd to 3.4 ghz Gtx 980 non-ti Evga X58 motherboard 16 gb DDr3 Ram, Corsair I was thinking of upgrading to a Gtx 1070 SC, but...

Okay, now that I have this info, and it is all very much appreciated, thanks a ton you guys, could someone refer me to a cpu upgrade? I want to get something that is pretty inexpensive but a firm upgrade. Or do you guys think I should just stick with my cpu as of right now. My specs are ...

I have an Intel I7-920 clocked at 3.5 ghz. Although it is overclocked to this, I was wondering if this cpu would be up to par with another cpu which was made more recently which is clocked at 3.5 ghz. What is the difference? What would make that cpu better than mine if they are clocked at the...

Well when playing, I went down a couple settings, and it was mainly on high, and I was getting 60 fps. I wish I knew which settings to turn down though that make the game only a little bit better graphically, but also take a lot of performance. I hate how the Gtx 970 cant run this thing 60 fps...

I have an i7-920, and have it currently overclocked to about 3.7-3.8 ghz. I have a Cooler Master 212, and I get temps a little over 70 when in-game, usually in the 60's. When idle, it will go from about 48 to 54, which is fine for me. I was thinking about a different cooler, like the Corsair H60...

I bought mine from Ebay and its worked great for a year since. I have an I7-920 installed overclocked to 3.8 ghz, which is modest, and it has performed greatly. Anyways, if it doesnt work after a month, then you can always return it. As long as they have good reviews, then its probably not going...

So I have an X58 motherboard and installed is 3x2gb sticks of ddr3 ram. I want an upgrade of the ram, and I was wondering if I should go for another set of 3x2 gb, or should i get a set of 2x4 gb, which would remove the tri-memory option, reverting back to dual I believe? Does anyone have any...

Here is what happened. I was plugging an HDMI cable from my TV to my PC. I was reaching from underneath the table to shove the cord up to the computer, when the cable hit the back of the computer around the PSU. Sparks shot out and the HDMI was charred. I stupidly decided that they cable was...

So Ive been overclocking my i7 920 with 6 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 corsair ram, a premium cooler master 212 cooler, and an evga x58 motherboard. Ive raised the base clock to hit 3.8 ghz, and it can hit that with stability. My temps with prime 95 get to 78 C highest, but when my computer is doing the...
