I'm not too stingy, I suffered with an laggy 20fps half life campaign with a i5. And now I'm a little better. It some aspects* But I want to be able to *atleast* run games like GTA V and Fallout 4, and future games like Dark Souls 3, etc. at a *runnable* framerate, as in preferably over 30fps, so it doesn't lag. As much. I get amazed when people run games like darksouls and witcher 3 at 50-60fps. Not that this matters but whatever parts I don't list here are going to be used from my other desktop, ie wireless receiver, harddrive(PC listed at bottom).(I also check compatibility between the parts I plan to buy and the parts from the old pc at PCPartPicker)
Parts I plan to buy(will replace previous parts obviously):
-CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz Black Edition
-Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 ATX
-Graphics Card: MSI Radeon R7 370 R7 GAMING 4G
-RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3-1333
(I will be adding this to the ram I am buying, only part ill be keeping that I'm getting a new part of aswell) +(old pc)Patriot Signature 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3-1600
I just want to know if this will be able to do what I want. I want to be able to play next gen stuff without paying $400 for a next gen console.
The desktop I have right now is awful, I rarely get more than 20fps, and the only exception is COD 4 at 40fps. I also use 20% of cpu on local processes and 60% of cpu running videos online and internet pages(which doesn't seem right to me). I bought it from cybertron pc(http://www.cybertronpc.com/customkititems~kc~gm1293c~group~home~cat~gamers.htm please don't as why the link says what it says, it takes you to my current build. I can't explain why it says what it does in the url) and they say apparently "Powered by an AMD A4-5300 3.40 GHz Dual-Core Processor, 8GB of DDR3 Memory and AMD Radeon HD 7480D Graphics, the Patriot delivers a solid gaming experience." which is funny because both crappy intel i3's and pentium's run a good amount better than it. Not really that "solid".
Then again it also says "Provides raw processing speed and power capable of handling your most intensive games; Delivers massive storage space for your games, movies, music and other important parts of your digital worlds; Provides a stable and reliable environment for your all your computing needs; Delivers smooth frame rates even during intense gaming" but even unintense non-demanding games lag a good bit. I can't even run viscera cleanup. Only positive is my 1TB Toshiba Hard Drive.
