Hi, i have the AMD FM2+ socket MSI A88X G43 i bought this for seeing the new world and to escape from the world of AGP 7800 and AMD Athlon 2500+ socket 462 it took me ages to do this, i unfortunately only took1 year to get to use my existing pc.
I have at at least got to play modern games and it is really amazing.
I have the GTX 650 which was given to me for nothing - well i did pay something.
I have the AMD X4 860k CPU which is great also and then i probably got good ram too i got the 1866 frequency DDR3 16 GB Gskill ram.
Agg anyways, i am really sad now that i was to do what i used to do years ago and this is donate cpu power and gfx power to projects like SETI BOINC Cancer ...Space...
The cpu seems so so weak for this stuff i is crazy and yet it is 3.7 ghz i dont get it m its a millions times faster than the old AMD i had but for this bit data stuff like Seti and the other Boinc stuff its so slow. its useless.
I am wondering if i need to change now and r what my options,. I dont see a better CPU than the 860 for my socket i am really sorry about this and sad i just cant believe it.
I originally wanted to get AM3 8350 or 6300 but i didnt want heat and power issues so i went for newer technology at the time which it was.
anyways, any comments or anything?
I am a budget person never liked intel because their stuff is always so costly .
I am sure and i am told u do get budget cpus which do perform well i need to check sites with graphs and including toms hardware.
Not particularly good knowing what key items to check for this type of excersize.
I currently want to change my graphics card and im thinking of being crazy and buying 2 even though i cant afford it really.
I was really considering AMD now and not NVIDIA , so the RX460 ;s were on my list but i scraped them they seem useless after the videos u watched. I am now interested in the RX470 or R480.
I like the RX470 because it save me a bit of money to get the 8pin pci-e molex connector i might need and shipping. the RX480 is so close in price and i belive performance also.
Not sure what to do here..
I am better off with the BOINC SETI projets using 1 GPU or 2? and or well yes i dont know wat the best plan here is.
I am also more confused now with 4GB versus 8GB.
I also reckon for 2 GPUs i will need a better PSU - no money for that ALSO.
Dam this is why i took too long to upgrade from the old Athlon,...
hoping somebody can help inspire me and see beauty in the light
