Or will I likely need an upgrade in a year or 2? I have a 250GB SSD 16TB of HDD space Ryzen 5 2600 6 core 12 thread CPU 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM Asus B450-F Strix Motherboard XFX Radeon 5700 XT Thick II 750 watt Corsair 750TX Enthusiast series V2 PSU Why so much HDD space? I've just accumulated...

Intel is better for gaming. So I'd go with the 8100. Though it doesn't make much difference with that graphics card as you'll be more GPU bound anyway. There are a few different ways you can think about this. You could get the cheapest one. You could think about upgradeability. Which would you...

The 2400g hands down if you're using the integrated graphics.

I found a delidded 8600K on ebay for $185 and an MSI z370-A PRO for $69.99. I'm going to order the RAM tonight. My motherboard died. So I decided to sell my old CPU and RAM. My Graphics card had errors too. Not sure if it was because of the motherboard or not. I shipped it off to Asus because...

I believe I can get $200 from the CPU as even the non k 4770 is selling for $185 on ebay.

I think I'll sell the 4770K and get a 4790K. It won't hurt anything and it won't cost much in the end. Overclocking a CPU shouldn't be this difficult. I had a Core i5 4690K before and it got 4.6GHz on the same motherboard with very little effort. I got to wanting a Core i7 and saw a cheap 4770K...

I just tried 4.3GHz with a voltage of 1.45v. Crashed after only 3 seconds in OCCT.

1) Multiplier 2) 31c 3) 78c no crash but error detected on Core #3 in OCCT.

My 4770K is a terrible overclocker. I can only reach 4.2GHz stable. Should I sell it and get a 4790K? Or What? Should I just keep it and not worry about it? I like to overclock and the 4770K just doesn't have much overclocking headroom in it. I have a nice aio water cooler and a z97 motherboard...

I'd like to do it on my PC. Would a GTX 1080 do it or do I need a 1080 ti? My specs include a Core i7 4770K, 16GB of RAM, a Corsair 750TX V2 PSU, and a GTX 970. I also have a wireless PS4 controller that I can use and a wireless combo keyboard plus mousepad built in. Are there any useful tips...
