Traded my xbox one for this computer. The computer has a hard time keeping up with games, What parts should I upgrade.
Get a new GPU
Maybe a newer CPU
>>51747720
any tips on what to get?
>>51747733
Budget? What resolution/settings do you want to play on?
>>51747755
1080p, budget doesn't matter, can always sell the items inside the computer.
What games?
The mobo can support an Ivy Bridge, like 3570k, with firmware update.
Normally, upgrade GPU first.
>>51747778
Gtx 970 or R9 290 depending on your prefrence. Someone else help this guy out, I need some sleep. You made a good trade, OP.
>>51747807
ty, goodnight.
>>51747807
it's not a good deal man..the 1155 chipset does not support many new good CPUs...
the ram is clocked at 665 mhz and has the worst timings ive ever seen..
the mobo is nothing special and the GPU is heavily outdated..
desu you got screwed over OP.
>>51747864
I got screwed over?
what do you think the average amount of this build is?
>>51747900
what do you mean average amount?
well man this is how I see it.
if you dont wanna do gaming this build is fine.
if you wanna do gaming you have a few problems.
as it is, it wont run many things.
upgrading within a budget, will JUST your shit up because that's a shitty CPU Socket you got going.
So the only choice is getting a new CPU and MOBO at least, which pretty much puts you in quite some expenses. (if you actually wanna get good pieces, that is)
Now, if you had NO computer prior to this, then the trade could be fine..
but if you do have another computer, it would have been better to just sell the Xbone and buy newer parts with the money.
>>51747937
Any suggestions on CPU and MOBO?
>>51747698
I'm curious as to what you're trying to play. I have way worse specs than you, yet I can run a pretty high amount of games. Nothing like Fallout 4 or anything, but a fair amount of others.
>>51747964
I5 4690k + any good z97 board
I5 6600k + any good z170/board
Update firmware , swap for 3570k
Add ssd ans new gpu , 380x or 970 whatever brand you like.
>>51747989
Well I am trying to get into some good older cod games, and maybe Rust and shit like that idk, the time hasn't come yet.
Your temps are low, Threes no need to upgrade. i would just overclock the cpu,ram,gpu
Just search for each part online and how to overclock it. and you should be fine.
>>51748011
>>51748018
Thank you.
>>51747964
>>51748011
what this guy said.
he means
if you are gonna upgrade both mobo and CPU you can pick between option 1 and 2
option 3 is for if you are gonna stay in your current mobo after all
>>51748018
Definitely go for this first before buying new parts.
Though if you just wanna play older cod games i dont think that rig would run into too much trouble
>>51747698
>>51748011
Ingore him, you don't need a processor upgrade. Just get a better graphics card and save yourself some money.
>>51748011
>SSD
lol'd. But the other things he said are good.
>>51747864
Are you retarded or just pretending?
RAM timings are 100% fucking irrelevant for gaming. You don't know shit. A decent i5 processor is more than good enough for current-gen games. If he grabs a GTX970 he'll literally play every game from the last 5 years at 1080p close to maxed out.
For $500, this system is not bad at all.
>>51747864
1 clock speed is not timing
2 speccy is showing half the speed (since it's ddr) its really 1333mhz
3 it supports up to ivy bridge which is is only 3 gens behind (and like 10% slower per clock)
4 the gpu isn't "heavily out dated" it can still play most games 60 fps 1080p at high to medium settings
>>51749246
even my 4670k @4.2ghz was bottlenecking my 7970 in some games
>>51748014
You should be fine with you current setup if you only plan on running older CoD and rust NP
>>51749780
What games?
Calling Bullshits
>>51747698
get a new hard drive
that seagate will die within the next year
hitachi deskstar is best
>>51750115
gta 5 mostly
that shit would hit 100% cpu usage at times if i drove fast enough for long enough
>>51750186
Haven't experienced that on my 3570k @4.3
>>51750186
that's not how you determine a bottleneck, and it could be something else fucky in your os.

Hows my build /g/? Please rate.
>>51747698
>The computer has a hard time keeping up with games
>gtx 670
nigga it runs better than the ps4
Build is worth about $450 and is still a powerful comp.
>>51750241
for the extra price of that needlessly expensive mobo you could get a better gpu.
>>51747698
dude dont be stupid.
you traded a fucking xbox one for this pc.
Go check some benchmarks of the GTX 670 ffs...
also its a MID budget PC what more you expect ?
You DON'T need a CPU.
>>51751304
also to upgrate your CPU you need a new Mobo.
>>51747698
You traded your xbox for this steaming pile of shit. Fucking hell I'd rather have the xbox
>>51751483
-Hello?
-Hello, yes this is bait.
>>51747698
Turn of antialiasing maybe? Disable blur and other nauseating filters. Enjoy flawless fullhd gayming. Profit.
>>51747698
watch this OP

>>51747698
my computer is shittier then this and I can still run almost every game at 1080p on medhigh-high settings (some don't hit 60fps but a lot do). My shit computer is still better then an xbox one. I just don't see why your pc is having a hard time running games when I'm not having a very hard time.
pic related my shit tier pc
Cpu is 4 generations old, maybe try to look for the best one that's compatible with the same socket. Gpu is pretty outdated too, I'd say try to get a 780 or wait until april and get a used 980. Get a second ram stick (same model, or just same specs). And I know this might sound dumb, but make sure your display cable is actually connected to your gpu. And something you should've already done is reinstalling windows (please don't fall for the Gentoo meme). And last but not least, don't expect a pc you got for $500 to run a game with everything max.
O posted this in other thread but is ded
I'm building a budget gaming PC, battleblock theatre, battlefront. I thought about fx-6300 + GPU, or it a safe bet? 1080p 60fps intended but I could sacrifice a little one for smoother gaming.
What do you think?
>>51751684
960 isn't shittier than 670 m8, i3 540 is pretty fucking shit though.
I've spent over two days reading up on PC component parts but it appears that I'm still retarded due to the lack of experience. What parts do I need to focus on if I want to run games at somewhat low resolutions @ 144+ fps?
Don't care about graphical quality, just fluidity without hitches and shit.
>>51751724
Just overall my pc is shitty then OPs. the i3 540 really bottlenecks the shit outta the 960 but I can still run witcher 3 on high settings getting around 45fps. there's no reason why OP can not run most games on his PC at the same resolution and frame rate as a game on xbox one.
>>51750186
Did you check your temperatures? I would say RAM bottlenecks long before the CPU would get a chance to, unless you got a cooling problem
>>51751715
those amd fx processor are getting really old. save up and just get an i5 4460.
>>51747698
>What parts should I upgrade.
All of them, to an Xbox One.
The PC is fine Op. Just get a new videocard, Fucking lol at the retards telling him to get haslel or skylake.
>>51751741
first things first. you monitor can not display anything more then 60 fps. you if you wanna game at 144fps you need to get a monitor that can display that. something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Nixeus-1920x1080-Adaptive-Sync-Widescreen-NX-VUE24A/dp/B0131PBN6U/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1449571482&sr=8-7&keywords=144+hz+monitor+24+inch
>>51751804
I'm well aware that the monitor needs to have the correct refresh rate (which I already have), just curious about the most important components/specs would be to running things smoothly.
Most guides and information covers gaming on high resolutions @ 60fps, which is not really what I want.
>>51747778
for 1080p
r9 390, r9 290x, r9 290, gtx 970 or a regular gtx 980
cpu is decent
Overclock the shit out of your card OP until IT IS DEATHED lel
>>51751948
he has to make sure the PSU is up to par or it will fail and take out some other parts with it.
>>51751770
So your adv is to save up for i5, use integrated graphics for a while and later get a proper GPU?
>>51749770
this a hundred times
>>51747864
kek, this ultimate, shietty, witty fagget.
>>51747698
jesus christ, i have weaker components and I really dont know what you are on about..
only bad side of this build is 2500 non K edition.
Anyway, sell this CPU and buy i7-2600k(or even i5-2500k), you can clock it easily to 4,5 on air, 4,8 with better cooler, GTX670 is the same thing as GTX770 , just renamed and 770 got a little more love in last couple of drivers so it seems as a better card.
So, either go with some AMD radeon R9 3#0x 8 gb vram card or with GTX980,970(Try to get one with as much vram as possible,at least 4 gb, nvidia has better texture compression algorithms so 4 gb vram of nvidia is almost as 6 gb of vram from ATI)
Now , I know that this was not the case, but in new games speed of RAM is actually important for min fps(who would tought..), so sell this and buy 2x8 gb ddr3 (dual channel) fastest you can find, but dont make a huge fuss about it, its really not that important.
If money is really not an issue, buy AIO H100i(dont go with push-pull, its bullshit,or really case related in really small percentage ), it is water cooling and it is literally easier to mount than any air solution.
Then, reinstall Windows, dont install any gameboosters or any other bullshit.
With these small changes you are peaceful for next couple of years.
You really got a good deal there, you lucky SOB.
>>51747807
not op but you're a cool dude.
>>51747698
>single channel
>i5 2500
poor anon :/
