I built a computer focused at gaming last year. I have built a few systems, but this was my first gaming build. I don't actually game very much, but I was wanting to be able to play Skyrim, Tomb Raider, and Elder Scrolls Online at High to Ultra graphics. My frame rates on these games are above 40 at High graphics, but if turn very many settings above Medium I sometimes crash randomly.
My most recent event was when play Elder Scrolls Online this weekend. The settings defaulted to high, I did not change any items, and after about 1hr of gaming; I got a blue screen crash. I was not monitoring my temps very closely before the crash, but I believe the CPU was about 60C and the GPU was just over 60C.
I wanted to see if i may have something configured wrong or designed the system poorly.
Build as follows:
FX-8350 (auto overclocking at 3.25V fixed, i don't think it ever runs faster than 4.3 GHz)
AsRock 970 Extreme4

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (running at 1800)

HIS HD7850 2GB graphics card

Corsair CX500 PSU

Plextor PX-128M5Pro SSD

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM HDD

Corsair Obsidian 550D

I have made some upgrades to cooling and airflow but nothing too radical. I am using MSI Afterburner as well as the Catalyst Control Center, for GPU config.
I am using the provided AsRock software for CPU config.
If an actual benchmark is required, let me know what you need and I will try to get that information for you tonight.
Thanks!!
