Hello everyone! So recently I've upgraded my PC configuration, but haven't really noticed a performance increase, other than the benchmark results (games are still spiky). These are the changes that took place:
graphics card: SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON HD 5750 1GB Vapor X -> SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON 7850 HD 2GB
cpu: AMD Phenom II 955 x4 Black Edition 3.2GHz -> AMD FX 8350 x8 4.0GHz
mbo: ASUS M4A77TD PRO -> ASROCK 990FX EXTREME3
ram: 2x2GB Corsair 1333MHz -> 2x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600MHz
power supply: Corsair 450W -> LC POWER Ozeanos Metatron 650W
Prior to the change in hardware, I had been running DOTA 2, a not so demanding game, on high settings. Connected with DVI on a 23'' monitor, it ran smoothly, but ever since I changed from DVI to HDMI (once I had upgraded the PC) it's been having spikes which are not associated with internet connection (ping is around 30-60). The only two components I haven't changed are HDD and optical drive, but I don't believe they are slowing the PC down. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, I reinstalled my OS after the new components had been installed, and I've updated all of the drivers. There's one more thing. Should I replace the stock coolers? There's been some noticable heating going on around the video card, but CPU and MBO are in normal temp. ranges.
Please help me fix this, I've put alot of effort in the new PC, but it seems I've only made it worse.
