Hey everyone, I'm not as tech advanced as some on here, but I shall try my best.
I have enough knowledge to build my own PC etc, which is what I did, and after a lot of research, and the fact some parts were on sale this is the rig I built.
AMD FX-8350 (No O.C)
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 Socket AM3+
8GB Patriot Viper 3 Mamba (4GBx2) DDR3 2133MHz
Radeon R9 270x 2GB (No O.C)
Windows 7 64bit
I know some will have opinions such as "should've went with Intel, or Nvidia" and that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as I stated after research and sales that they had, those were the parts I went with (also I'm not a millionaire). My main point is this:
I feel as though this rig should be faster then how it is preforming. I've ran 3DMark11 before writing this and my score is as follows:
3DMark Score 5448
Graphics Score 7950
Physics Score 2979
Combined Score 2575
I'm not exactly sure if that's on par, or if I'm right about it not running 100%. Could something be bottle necking something? (again, not an expert hence asking for help
Just normal tasks seem to be a little slower (or not as much of an upgrade as I thought) as well as gaming, my FPS has improved, but still not were I think it should be (but then again I've also been playing DayZ, Rust, etc)
If anymore info is needed, just ask!
P.S
Old Rig:
Intel i5 3230
No Clue what Mobo.
6GB value RAM
ATI HD 5770
Windows 7 64bit
