Not getting expected performance

[Bush1334]

Hey Iv'e done research and apparently with my graphics card i should be getting about 60-70 fps in GTA V but I'm getting about 20-40 fps.

-EVGA 1060 3G FTW
-A10 7800
-430WATT (MIGHT BE THE ISSUE)
-8G RAM (ALSO MIGHT BE AN ISSUE)
please help.

Yea that's what i was going for... is there a little better CPU than the FX-8350 for a similar price? And what about the FX-6300 is that any good?

Any FX CPU would be an improvement over an A-series APU. The question you need to find the answer to is just exactly how much performance do you need? I personally went with an FX-8370, but that's because I wanted peak performance (and at the time that was peak performance).

Alright so i have been doing some thinking and i don't have much knowledge when it comes to installing motherboards... I feel like it's pretty complicated and a lot of work... So i think I'll just simply go with an Athlon because i wouldn't have to change the motherboard. Another thing is i found out that there is an issue with BIOS or something with these components:

Alright so let's say if i get this https://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core... AND https://www.amazon.com/MSI-970-GAMING-DDR3-Motherboard/...

I don't really know what that means... And just asking what is the best FM2 compatible CPU?

And let's say i go with the Athlon 4x 880k and my setup would be

-EVGA 1060 3G FTW
-Athlon 4x 880k
-700WATT
-8G RAM

Will that give me consistent 60FPS without it freezing all the times in games like PUBG, GTA V, JUST CAUSE 3 ect.?

As long as you aren't trying to run max settings, that Athlon should give you good FPS in most of those games.

Help me god man... Just got the 970 gaming mb and the fx 8350 did everything well than when i tried putting the mb in my case... Doesn't fit. I legit don't know what I'm doing man... I was sure it'll fit but no i does not fit. So currently checking other possibilities such as buying a bigger case but as you can see i can't built a whole PC. And this might sound extremely dumb and stupid but is it possible to leave the motherboard and cpu outside of the case? Like putting it on top of something connecting everything like it would be in the case but just outside?

 

[Carnaxus]

It's definitely possible to build a computer without a case, but you'd have to be extra careful about where you put everything, and you'd need to build some kind of frame to secure the GPU and any other expansion cards or they'll work themselves out of the slots.

What is your case? It sounds like your case doesn't support the form factor of that motherboard.
