Calling all computer nerds scrolling through /b/! I bought this

pic is of my PC

Who did you buy it from?

Get a new video card, and upgrade to 16 gigs of ram.
If you have the money, get a good Nvidia graphics card

>>716551979
Problem one
You bought a pc /thread

>>716552617
cyberpowerpc

>>716552647
link to one??

Get a Gtx 1070 will last you for quite a while, sets you back for around $400-450

First of all, don't upgrade the RAM, 8 gb is more than enough for what you want. I'd advise you to buy a decent GPU, that R7 360 is just decent at best. That CPU will bottleneck you if you want to play more demanding games, though. IMO, go for a new GPU, faggot.

Also, how much are you willing to spend?

>>716553341
max I'll spend is 400$, don't wanna spend more then half of the actual fuckin pc

>>716551979
take those stickers off and it'll run like a babe sucking shit down a river out of gods asshole

My advice is stop playing Overwatch but fuck what do I know, enjoy your waifu TF2.

What's resulting in the non-peak performance is almost definitely your graphics card- 95% of the time that's the bottleneck of a system when it comes to gaming.

Here's yours: http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/AMD+Radeon+R7+360/review

It's a pretty solid card, though if you wanted a superior one I would recommend Nvidia GTX 960: http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+960/review

The price they give there is much higher than actual, you can probably find it for around $350-400. It should perform about twice as well as your current one, though it is marked with 25 more wattage than yours, so make sure it falls within your power supply cap.

Cheers, merry christmas.

you bought an overpriced piece of shit

Alright OP here, question... with my fan do you think I could overclock it to its max without burning my CPU/motherboard?

>>716553622
A 960 no-one's going to actually pay $350 for one, you can go on craigslist and get a 970 for $200

>>716551979
Upgrade your GPU.

>>716551979
You bought an expensive POS is what you did. Prebuilts are cancer. Unfortunately cause I have that CPU I can tell you for sure that it will limit you in a lot of games despite people telling you it won't. It's a shit CPU, however your GPU is shit as well. So upgrade GPU first then CPU. CPU needs new motherboard though. Basically you fucked up.

Don't overclock your damn CPU. It's not the cause of your problems.

You'll gain 0% performance boost and reduce your system's lifespan by 50%.

>>716553791
You need a decent cpu cooler to be able to overclock the cpu

>>716553891
Buying used PC parts is one thing I don't like doing, specially GPUs/CPUs

Lol, if overclocking doesn't have any benefits why would people do it?

>>716553891
Sorry, my price estimates come from canada. All PC parts are more expensive here.

Buy yourself a GTX 970, you'll thank yourself

>AMD 8core 8350, runs nice but hot

>Nvidia gtx 970, not a 1080 but doesn't need to be

>8gb ram, honestly ram never really slowed my computer down

>600w PSU, honestly just grabbed the first one I saw. Don't really know much about them

>Case is some cheap shit I bought online, really nice ventilation, good air flow

>H100i cooler cause someone here said I should get it

Honestly you're only short a good graphic card. 200 can get you a 970 if you look around

>>716553791
lol Don't try to OC your CPU, specially an AMD.

>>716551979
If you want to improve PC performance in general, buy a very cheap SSD, meaning less than 100 Gigs, and use it as a cache.

Essentially load your OS to the SSD, and have mostly everything else on a secondary HDD.

You could upgrade your RAM to 12, or even 16, but 8 is usually enough for most games.

Your graphics card might need an upgrade too. AMD is alright, but that one seems to be inferior to some GTX models as some Anon pointed out.

If you had to choose two, just for gaming, I guess upgrade your ram and graphics card; although I do recommend you use an SSD as main memory. It speeds up overall PC performance.

>>716554264
Exactly this OP. And if you can grab yourself a Corsair H100i, i definitely recommend it for cooler your CPU.

>>716551979
if you're using windows 10, disable DVR in the xbox app on windows 10. you'll have to create an acct/sign into your microsoft acct, then go to options and look for Game DVR or some shit. Just disable it and you're good to go.
I tore my PC apart trying to figure out why I was having framerate issues in many games.

>>716554198
Cpu is the part which has the longer lifespan

>>716554476
Are you the h100 guy?

>>716554540
it's still a used cpu

>>716554208
nigga do you not respond to posts

Overclocking helps in cases when you're trying to process excess information fast. It speeds up how quickly your cpu runs, pushing it beyond its intended operating speed.

While you're gaming, your cpu probably won't ever reach 100% usage, even if it isn't overclocked. Games put more stress on your graphics card than anything else.

Overclocking is better used for boring shit like rendering a 3d image really fast.

>>716554322
Also what this guy said, AMD cores heat up more.

>>716554376
You're correct, its gonna speed up is leading time but it won't increase his game's performance FPS wise. He's in a tight CAD budget so upgrading his GPU is the way to go. As someone said already, find yourself a 970 or if not an r9 290

You make a robot you faggot. Quite being a bitch and diagnose your own damn problems you cunt

>>716554674
No, I've never told anyone here to get an h100 lol but I do recommend it

>>716554840
Corsair is godo shit.

OP here, asked my friend what I should do and he sent me this, is this good?

>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qQqkqk
Just upgrade your GPU, that's your only problem.

>>716551979
my computer is about same as yours but if anything your GPU is a bottlenck

my specs are

CPU: AMD FX=9370 (8C @ 3.8Ghz)
GPU: 4Gb GDDR5 AMD R7 370
PSU: 650W
Mobo: Gigabyte 970A (same as yours)
RAM: 14Gb DDR3
HDD: 444Gb (not a huge gamer and still have 180Gb free)

>inb4 shitty storage

I previously had an FX-4350 4C @ 4.2Ghz and seen no FPS boost so my GPU is a bottleneck and my computer is worth (what I spent total on all parts in it)

$431 (I got the mobo for $6 on amazon and I think one PCIx16 doesn't work but I'm to lazy to gut it out) and get most of your shit on ebay i got my 9370 for $108 instead of like $150-$190

>>716554975
Yes, but all you need is the fucking graphics card. Just get that and stick it in there and play your weeb games, spend the rest of the money on alcohol and weed.

They're completely made up but I'd rather misinform the faggot than suggest he overclock while he doesn't know what he's doing.

What makes you think the cpu is the bottleneck?

>>716555195
No one cares

>>716555036
Holy shit, how do people live like this? With all the time you have to play games, at least utilize some of that time to have a decent looking room.

>>716551979
Man, I need a better computer
>AMD

>>716555195
See this >>716555321

>>716555412
it's usually dark in my room so i never notice, using the flash it seems worse.. :|

also for all PC builders you don't need over 60fps most monitors are 60Hz (meaning they turn on/off 60 times a second) with that said 300fps = 60fps

>>716555288
Its AMD and AMD processors arent enthusiast market cpus like intel are and lock most of their poorly built cores that arent hyperthreaded and can barely handle a few hard tasks even though they have 4 or 6 or 8 cores

>>716555543
But the smell? Surely you must notice some way or another, or do you just spray fabreeze all the time.

Are those Intel i7 processors better than an AMD processor?

I have an FX-8350 8 core @4.0ghz. I was just wondering how the i7's compare to it. They seem bloated on price for me

>>716555689
i have an i7 4790k and i basically never utilize 100% of it so i guess its nice

>>716555577
Pretty sure the human eye sees about 60 frames per second, so yeah this.

>>716555602
Sure, but he's not looking to multitask or anything. Just play video games (and one at a time). I'm pretty confident that the GPU is the problem.

>>716555689
Prices are always high and never seem to drop over time, it's frustrating. But yes it's better than amd, however amd is cheaper.

>>716555689
I've seen benchmarks done on youtube showing Core i5 vs i7 and core i5 beat the i7 in some areas otherwise i7 won by like 5-10fps

I go AMD because it's cheap and the motherboards for it are cheaper and have that red/black look

>>716555689
As a simplistic and general rule, Intel and Nvidia > AMD

Makes sense if you think about it. Intel focuses their attention on CPUs, Nvidia does GPUs. AMD tries to do both.

>>716555674
i have a can of axe ready all the time. the smell is hardly there when your in here 24/7

>>716555827
no it's not the human eye part the human eye can see more fps but people brag about getting 100-300fps on games while im here getting 50 fps in WT and they don't realize they're seeing a 10fps difference

>>716552647
Fuck off with that nvidia Shit.

>>716555826
Like the issue for me is that I've never had to go full throttle either. I guess the processor ain't too much of an issue. It's nice don't get me wrong, I'm just curious if the higher price tags made that big a difference, with clock speeds so close

>>716556055
I just googled it and yeah, human eye can supposedly recognize a difference up to about 150 fps
Anyway you're still right, the monitor becomes the bottleneck.

Most of the time when you buy pre assembled PC you get scammed badly.

Next time ask before buying a PC, listen to the advices, buy the single components and assemble it, or ask the shop to assemble it.

With $800-1000-1200 (what you saved, you can now possibily pay to upgrade RAM & shit) you could've assembled a way better PC.

>>716556234
I just laugh when people spend a shitload on GPU's but in reality all ya need is 60fps

>conputer

Holy fuck they actually sold this for $800?

Hahahahahahahahahaha suckers they come, a dime a dozen.

>>716556543
Yeah, what the fuck is with the dual 1090 Ti stuff? Is it even possible to use that system at 100% with today's games?

It's like buying a Formula 1 and using it to go to work every day.

>I spend 800 on a pc
>what do

>AMD

I mean, it's good if you wanna overclock it for the sole purpose of keeping warm at night or cooking a mean hotpocket.

get NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or 980

I've seen people with dual 1080's, core i7, 16Gb DDR4 and bunch of other shit but the tech companies know people will buy their shit when you don't need to

you'll never need two GPU's ever unless your refresh rate is 200Hz...

First problem: get that shit off the floor

Go Intel, upgrade gpu, get 16gb ram. And don't buy a retail pc again you fuck, hope you learned your lesson.

News from Amd Conference shows they are coming out with a cpu that whill own all Intel.

>definitely get a new graphics driver. An 980 Ti by invida should shoot well.

Your biggest issue is your CPU and GPU. You won't be able to play games at max because your system is bottlenecked by them.

>>716553341
8gb is not feasible anymore 16 is enough for a while now

>>716551979
r7 360 is trash get rid of it and get shit like a gtx 1060 itll be enough for a while

>>716560277
you just to get 60fps only

Op, upgrade your GPU for the largest increase in performance per dollar. Spend a bit extra if you can, get a good card.

The next step is going to be replacing the motherboard and cpu.

Don't let fags in here tell you exactly what to buy , that's where you need to step up and do some research. But for now, replace your GPU. Then later when you can afford it, replace the motherboard and CPU.

>>716564372
Also, it might be worthwhile to get a newer GPU, like GTX 1050 or for some more money RX 470.

>>716564417
Well I mean you're a faggot, so the iphone is appropriate.
You're not gay for using an iphone, you're gay and therefore you use an iphone.

>>716556090
You fuck off AMD is for third world country peasants.

>>716556090
Lol, seriously going to try and trash talk nvidia? I mean ok, but they are really leading the game right now by a good click.

>>716564615
hey guys look over here he likes android and says iphone users are gay because they can afford a better phone

*no one looks*

see no one gives a shit but you

>>716564832
but AMD is cheaper and gets you passed 60fps so thats all you need for gaming is 60fps because your monitor cant refresh more than that unless you buy a special one

>>716556974
Shitty ports and games in early developement are often not optimized, making even good systems get shit fps so people overbuild.

>>716564959
Noone needs to give a shit, my point was a matter of fact that everyone already knows.

>better phone

lel

>>716565048
It's true, if you're going for budget vs performance then go AMD. But "get out of here with that nvidia shit" seemed to suggest something else.

>>716564832
>leading the game

leading the virgin game, who really cares..I have a high end nvidia card and i couldnt give a fuck i can play games and thats all i care about, you can do the same with amd which is what i did when i had my older computers.

This is the CPU I was looking to buy... I was under the impression Intel overpriced all their shit and AMD was the best bang for the buck. Suggestions on a CPU under the $150usd mark? Closer to $100 really.

not very special having more than 60hz refresh rate, it's just 60hz is the most common. It's not "rare" to find people with more than that.
