Yeah I'll look at better quality psu for sure

Alright thanks was looking at a corsair 550w, would this be enough? And is it a more reliable brand?

Ok thanks will give it a go.

So I've been having crashes after about 10 minutes in any of my games, or in some cases they don't even open at all. I also had my ssd die the other week for no particular reason. I did some reading and apparently really the only way that can happen is due to a bad psu. My. specs are: GPU: RTX...

Don't really want to upgrade the board, could I get a i5 8400 without the z370?

Isn't the i7 overkill? And would it be a waste getting a k as my motherboard doesn't support overclocking? I was looking at the i5 7500 and put it into a bottleneck calculator with the rest of my rig, and was told I'd get a 13% bottleneck. And it commended a intel xeon e5-267 as the best cpu for...

Thanks for the reply. Motherboard is a msi b250m pro-vh

Hey so I just got my gtx 1070, and am able to max out most games at 60fps with the exception of far cry 5, which I am only able to run on about medium settings with occasional fps drops. Is this normal? I believe it could be my CPU which is a core i3 7100. Should I get a new one, and if so which...

Thanks for the help man, Yeah just cause 3 is badly optimised, but am mainly just having some FPS drops in AC 4 Black flag and Fallout 4. But have read that they aren’t well optimised either. Think I’ll stick with 1050 ti for now (or until I can fork out $300)

Mainly open world titles such as fallout, Skyrim, just cause and Assassin’s creed on medium-high settings at 1050p as I am still to get a better monitor.

I am considering upgrading my CPU or gpu, but am unsure about which one. What would give the biggest boost to FPS? Currently my cpu and gpu are: Core i3 7100 Gtx 1050 ti I am open to any suggestions on which cpu/gpu would be a good upgrade option for me. Any help appreciated.

It depends on the game. For games like battlefield, a new CPU won’t make much of a difference. Because all the CPU is required to do is load the map at the start of the round and send information to the server. What it will do is increase FPS in open world games like Skyrim that require the CPU...
