Hi TH Community,

I'm not a computer genius but I understand quite a bit about them and for the past several years have been building my rigs from scratch. The newest rig I built was in Dec of 2012 and to me, since it's completion, has felt like the rig is just under performing. (The under-performing department is mainly in games)

Specs as follows:

i7-3930k 3.5 ghz (No Oc) (Oc'd Once, Got BSOD) (CPU is on corsair liquid Cooling)
32gb ddr3 1600 corsair dominator RAM
nvidia gtx 680 (EvGA)
1 samsung SSD 100 gb for OS
2x WD Raptors Raid 0 - For Gaming
1 WD Black 1tb HD - Storage
Gigabyte z77x mobo (Went with this for Upgrade Capability)
Windows 7 Home

I guess my question is, is there really anyway to tell. I understand benchmarks are a good way to gauge performance. Any website where you guys can direct me to do comparisons? And what or which benchmarks should I run?

Thanks a Bunch

Something you can try...
There has been a discussion here lately about the effects of Intel's Hyper Threading on gaming. A poster had poor results and stuttering with his 2 x GTX 680s and his i7. He found that turning off H-T in BIOS solved the stutter problem and his results improved.
