Thank you all for the suggestions. So, after many hours of testing, i narrowed the issue down to windows power modes. Bios is set to default, all stock speeds on everything. Under balanced power mode in windows I get stuttering in games, when I switch it to maximum performance mode, the...

Hello! I recently bought and put together a new system from newegg, and noticed a lot of stuttering in GTA V and Sea of Thieves. When I turn off Vsync it does not stutter, but I get a ton of screen tearing. (Specs below) So, is this the monitor's fault or the system itself? I'm not very...

Don't worry, not disregarding anyone's suggestions here. I understand what you guys are saying, and will take it into consideration. As I said, I am leaning more towards gaming, although I know it may be handy to have the extra cores for other applications down the road. Also, I may be slightly...

@SHEKTRON - You have answered my question directly, in the way I needed, and explained well. Which is exactly what I was hoping for. My hats off to you sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman, thank you! I will now select the best answer, and this topic may be closed. Thank you all again for your...

I understand the value of an 8 core vs a 4 core cpu for content creation, so all your arguments were correct and compelling. Shektron is right though, the issue is I'm gonna be using the pc 98% of the time for gaming, at least for the time being. My fault for prioritizing content creation in the...

Long time Intel customer, I haven't used AMD since athlon dual core. Intel's reliability and single core performance is great. All of these components are top rated so I'm sure they will play nicely together, I just wanted someone with more knowledge than myself to double check it. Thanks...

Good suggestions, I particularly liked Shektron's because it doesn't force me to change too much about the build, and Chugalug_'s suggestion of the FTW3 looks solid. Couple of things: say I would prefer to stay with Intel, and not to go SLI for the time being. Let's also assume now that all the...

So, I am finally ready to begin my next build, and I have a budget of $2300-$2400. Pcpartpicker.com states no issues/incompatibilities with this build (besides a note stating that HD cages need to be removed to make room for the GPU in the case, which is fine since the case is fully modular)...

This can actually be closed now, as I have decided to postpone the build. Thank you.
