SO I am still getting poor frame rates on shogun total war(napoleon and empire I get a solid 60FPS) with my very high end GPU and I realize I am getting a slight bottle neck because of my AMD A10 7600 3.5ghz processor however a local tech told me to check to look for a patch that can improve my FPS since shogun total war is the only game I am getting poor frame rates. Does anyone know where to find a patch like this? Or does steam just automatically update the games in my library with the most recently released patches?
Also can anyone recommend a site I can go or download to test my internet connection speed. He also said I could be getting poor frame rates because of my internet connection.
 
I have a AMD A10 6700 quade core 3.5 ghz with 8gb of RAM, an ASUS GTX 970, Corsair 750 watt power supply and a mother board that only supports the A10 and A8 CPU, I don't remember exactly which one it was
 
According to pingtest.com I am getting a download speed on my internet of 29.63 Mbps and upload speed of 6.03 Mbps. I ran Valley Benchmarks and with everything on ultra I was getting an average of 59.2 fps with an average temp of 70 C, with 2x AA I was getting 58.4 fps with a average temp of 78.2 degrees C!
 
Well in another thread I posted I am actually going to be giving my dad this computer I have now, minus the power supply and GPU(which I purchased)which will be going into a new build. Do you have any suggestions on what I need? I have a PSU 750 watt corsair and obviously the 970 but do you know of any other good brands? my budget is about 600
 
A complete PC for $600? Is the ram OK to keep?

Try -

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($96.98 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard ($69.68 @ SuperBiiz)

no, I already have a corsair 750 watt power supply and an ASUS gtx 970. My budget is $600(I could probably add another $100) for the CPU, motherboard, Ram, and case, etc. I really want to avoid a bottle neck and get the best performance out of my 970.
So far I have this i7 4790
MSI 797-655 SLI motherboard
are these good?

Well I might be doing some video editing for school!. how do I know which i7 is going to be the best for the things I will be doing? If I throw in an i7 with all the parts you recommended will I get a bottle neck with say the i7 4970k?
