Hey Guys,

So I am currently running a computer with the components below. I had a friend build it so I can't really tell you much more than the below. It is a bit outdated and I am looking to upgrade. I am just wondering if it is needed.

- ASRock P67 PRO3 ATX Intel Motherboard
- MSI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) N450GTS-M2D1GD5/OC Video Card
- Intel Core i5-2400 3.1GHz LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (Believe I am running 2 sets of these so 8GB but I could be wrong.)

So I recently purchased a BenQ XL 2720z Monitor. My main purpose for computers is gaming. I play CS GO for the most part. After buying the monitor I noticed that it's not as smooth as I though it would be. I was thinking maybe it could be my gpu and it's not handling it too well. But, when I check my FPS I am getting around 160 fps and it stays stable. But every once in a while my screen will lag a bit. Almost like a flicker, even though this monitor is supposed to be flicker free.

Any ideas?

What you have there is a great build and will last quite awhile. As for the other question, I'll use a console analogy( might be abit hard to understand, but it sounded right in my head :) ).Whenever a new console is released more and more games will be made for only that generation ( think about the xbox 360 and xbox one or ps3 and ps4), the differance in pc's are that you don't need a whole new system for quite abit longer but eventually your socket type and other generation or model specific things won't be supported. And your build is verging on that. Get the build you linked to ( you already bought the cpu anyway) and you'll be good to play CS GO and all new games on pretty high settings ( probably max them out on CS GO). It is...

That build could definitely use an upgrade or perhaps a new one? Check what your maximum resolution of your build is. Your friend could probably tell you that or probably someone else that's reading this. If you are cool with a new build what would the budget be?

This is my new build. I am just wondering if it's a must to go as far as buying a new rig just for a couple of games.

It is also gonna last awhile so you can play in peace without stressing about the new games system requirements.

Just out of curiousity. Do you think the RAM 2400 is overkill if I am not thinking of overclocking anytime soon?
