Hi Guys,
I made a thread here about a month ago thinking of upgrading my system, I appreciate those of you who had made your inputs.
I have decided that I will need to wait to rebuild it to the specifications I want so in the meantime I am hoping to optimize my system as much as possible. I am very new when it comes to computers so I appreciate your patience and detailed input very much.
My current specs are as follow:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
Ram: 16 Gb Dual Channel DD3@799MHz
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD65 (MS-7751)
Graphics: Asus VP239 (1920x1080@59Hz)
2047MB NVIDEA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Storage: 298GB Seagate ST932032 5AS SCSI Disk Device (SATA)
PSU: EVGA 650W Gold Certified
Asus VG248QE 144hz Monitor
I know my CPU and MOBO are pretty outdated & I do plan on eventually upgrading everything but I am hopeful to maybe "tweak" my current system to boost over all system speed and performance.
The computer is mainly used for gaming (CSGO, Sims, WoW, etc) & web browsing.
For some reason my computer feels slower in the last month or so, I was having an error before where my computer would randomly restart while gaming and when I got my new (current) PSU that has fixed the error.
I will randomly get a screen stutter/lag while playing CSGO and it is very annoying to me.
Do you feel that overclocking my GPU or CPU is a good idea to try, or maybe would a fresh reinstall of windows help? I've noticed my ram is only 799 MHz as well, could this be an issue?
Any tips on softwares to use or approaches to take are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
