GPU - MSI Radeon R9 270X CPU - AMD FX-6300 Hexacore Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P Case - Rosewill Galaxy-02 PSU - Corsair CX600 Storage - 1TB Seagate Barricuda 7200RPM HDD and a SanDisk 120GB SSD OS - Windows 8.1 Hi all! I currently have a decent gaming rig, and it's been supplying...

That PC build is good. To save money, I suggest going with an FX-8320; it's just about the same processor but a lower price. The power supply is 750W which will leave room for upgrading as well, which is good. The only other thing I would change is the memory. Go from 1x8GB to 2x4GB. You'll have...

If you want more feedback from different people, try making a new topic for recommendations and link it in this thread. I'll go over there and help you out, but I won't be the only one, so you'll have lots of choices to choose from, not just my opinions.

The A10-5800K is an APU from AMD, meaning that is has built-in integrated graphics. The graphics are really bad and cannot be used for games. APUs are mainly used for work loads. The Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z looks like a crazy motherboard to me! It's very nice and will definitely compliment...

If you switch the graphics API to Mantle, you get a great FPS boost. AMD cards utilize the Mantle API better than Nvidia cards. I switched the API from DirectX to Mantle and it became even smoother. Even if you don't find 50+ FPS enjoyable, you can bump it down to high, which still looks...

I play it on a 23" 1080p 60Hz screen at enjoyable framerates on Ultra and it's enough. The reason I get great framerates is because I switched the graphics API from DirectX to Mantle's API, which improves AMD GPU performance by at least 10 FPS. If you don't think ~50 fps is enjoyable, bump it...

The 970 has been proved to perform on par and sometimes better than the GTX 780, which is a lot pricier. The 970 is also crazy efficient, with the 780 being 250 watts, the 970 has a 148 watt TDP. It will improve your electric bill! There are hundreds of benchmarking videos, overclocking videos...

I run BF4 Large Conquests on Ultra and it's smooth. Sometimes it dips low but I never even notice. If I stream it or record I have to bump it down to Medium though, so it's the borderline minimum. It's a crazy gaming GPU for the price. I run CS:GO at 310 FPS, Minecraft at 100 FPS, and a lot of...

For that price range, I recommend looking for a GTX 980. They are pretty hard to find and they get sold out like crazy, but it's performance is amazing.

I have an FX-6300 running on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P and I have no problems whatsoever. I got the motherboard for only $70 and no bottlenecking or anything. Motherboards don't usually determine how good your rig will perform in a game. It mostly depends on what GPU. What games will you be...

You might be able to figure something out if you have relatives in other regions who could send it to you. What region do you live in? Have you checked if other brands like MSI, Sapphire, or XFX have different shipping locations? Some brands might be able to ship to you while others can't.

It seems to me that this driver update has worked! I just started it up and threw everything at it. YouTube videos, Steam videos, Skype, and what not and it hasn't even flickered! I wish I could pick two best answers because you both said the same thing! Maestro commented first, but do not feel...

You can definitely upgrade your CPU later, but upgrading a CPU now might not show much improvement. But without a doubt, you will have to upgrade you CPU in the future if you want the best performance from a new GPU.

I recommend getting the AMD Radeon R9 270X. It is the same price as the 750 TI OC 2GB but has better performance. I have this graphics card and I can guarantee good frames in any game. I play Battlefield 4 on Ultra at a smooth framerate. It is an amazing card for the price. Your CPU may...

2GB is perfectly fine. If you are doing 3D rendering a lot or using a lot of monitors you might want more, but 2GB is perfectly find for any gaming, workload, etc.
