A horrible CPU Choice.

[Vid Dovgan]

Hello guys, so, I recently built my first ever gaming PC, yay, woohooo, well... not so much. Because this was my first ever build, I was obviously a massive noob. I picked an AMD FX 8370 to pair up with my GTX 760. The problem here is, that CPU intensive games run really bad, because of AMD's low single core performance, I really wish I would've picked the i5-4790k (Or something like that), because, most of the games that I play, are CPU intensive games. If I were to replace the CPU, I obviously need to replace the motherboard too, which would be about 350 euros (for both components combined). I'm only 14, so I obviously don't have enough money right now (I barely saved up for this PC). What should I do? I'm truly devastated, this was a horrific first PC build experience.

This thread is pretty comical. It has taken on a life of its own. Hopefully it comes to a happy conclusion for Vid.

from the repeated questions that have been answered multiple times i'm starting to think this is someone just messing with us.
or someone with a hard time learning.

hopefully it all turns out a good learning experience.
