now days you want a 4gb card

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

xbox one and ps4 have 8gb gpu's in them.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare maxes out my 4gb's on my gtx 970 for an example.

waiting on delivery.....

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

I would have gotten a different motherboard.

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

what about the GPU?

 

[shizz26]

have any suggestions on a replacement that will take the hard wear i have and will it harm the motherboard as is?

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

the GPU will do fine on most games. you might have to turn down some settings and filters to accommodate

Thank you for all your input, and with you pointing it out about the mother board, i know i missclicked on building/reviewing, i should have had someone look over it just to make sure...is there any saving it with a swap out of the board or will i have to do a total rebuild?

you know what? I just googled that board again a saw something different that did't look as bad as what I saw the first time. I must have clicked the wrong link or something. that board will do fine at stock CPU speeds. Still wont overclock very well though

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

to overclock that CPU you want a Z97 or Z87. But the Z87 would possibly need a bios update to be compatible with the Devils Canyon CPU out of the box.

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

the board is the only factor if your looking to overclock. which you bought a "k" edition CPU which will overclock if you wanted to.

what PSU is that 600 watt?

what PSU is that 600 watt?

im not sure, it was a promo....only thing im seeing is 600w standard...

 

[JakeThaSnake007]

well you do always want a quality name brand PSU like Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, etc. and one with an 80+ rating. Off brand PSU's most likely when pushed to their rated wattage will fail sometimes sooner than later, and sometimes can damage the motherboard or GPU etc. when it does fail with some type of explosion.

A quality PSU should always be used and is one of the items you never wat to go "cheap" on.
